why is axes a FIXME and buttons a WARN?

Because default joystick data format supports up to 128 buttons. So even if 
Wine would be using custom data format most programs probably won't be able 
to use all of the buttons.

At the same time there are number of extra axes left in the data format that 
Wine is not using.

So in short - there is something that can be done to support more axes but 
not much about buttons.

PS. I'd like to see a "joystick" with more then 128 buttons...
