Sorry to reply to myself, but I realized that I could be a bit
more specific, and save someone some extra writing.
I know that the proper file to modify is sqWin32Joystick.c, and I'm
using sqMacJoystickAndTablet.c as a reference. My question is whether
WinTab is the correct way to go. Also, the WinTab documentation says
that we can either poll or receive a Windows event. The former sounds
easier to me (being a Win32 ignoramus), but the latter seems more
correct.
That's it, for now (how many more times will I reply to myself)
Thanks,
Joshua
