[Bf-committers] Joystick Sensor works

[Campbell Barton]

Hi Carsten,
there probably isn't any many devs interested in spending too much time on this.
My aim was to get 2 joypads playing YoFrankie which works now so Im
not too keen to spend much longer on it.

If you update you current patch with the suggestions I'm happy to test
and commit if thats ok with zaghaghi. (have 3 different joysticks for
testing).

Added some comments inline.

If your sure Id take your word for it ;-), easy change

no problem...

SDL provides easy access.

Would require blender py api have constants for joystick events. can
be done separate to other changes. would not mind helping out with
this one.
