Yet another xinput implementation for the xbox360 controller

[Bruno Jesus]

Hi to everybody.

In order to exercise dinput (which is overly complex) I have
implemented xinput using dinput. Xinput is as easy as winmm joystick
support, I guess MS wanted to go back to the basics.

I know that this is not really useful specially when HID kicks in but
as I said it was an exercise and now I can play Broforce properly with
the Xbox controller and force feedback.

If you know a game that is xinput only and it does not work with this
patch tests are appreciated (+xinput,+dinput). Most of the code can
still be reused for HID IMO, just change the dinput functions.

If you want force feedback remember to disable the (js) joystick in
the control panel. Also if you have other controller brands it must
have at least 6 axis, 11 buttons and 1 POV to work, but the mapping
has to be redone. If it has less buttons you can relax the checks in
dinput_is_good.

Last but not least I know I should have used dinput to map the axes
values for me but I was tired of reading dinput docs and it was easy
enough to convert manually.

Best wishes,
Bruno

Just replying to myself here. I updated the patch to work with
non-xbox controllers, just tested with a 2 axes, 8 button controller
and a ps2 + usb adapter. Broforce with 3 players working fine =)
