 Hello Allegators.
 
 The allegro wjoyw32.c joystick driver is not very functional. It does not
 work with joysticks with more than 2 axes and the hat-code (POV) can only
 detect 4 directions (no diagonals). I noticed this when trying to get my
 MS Sidewinder Precision 2 (3 axes + throttle and POV) to work with
 Allegro.
 
 I have now fixed several bugs in wjoyw32.c and added 8-way POV-detection.
 I have tested my driver with both a 6 button gamepad and the
 SideWinder. They both work fine, but I have not tested any other
 joysticks.
 
 My fixes are probably pretty general and still backward compatible, but as
 mentioned before, I cannot confirm this.
 
 I have attatched a diff-file between wjoyw32.c (allegro 3.9.34) and my
 newer version. How does things go on from here?
 
 I am not a subscriber of this list, I you have any questions you
 will have to mail me directly. Or you could just keep me in the Cc-field
 to let me know what's happening.
