Update to bsnes v036r12? release.

New WIP, doesn't do much.

The core no longer scales axis values at all; and the platform input
manager scales joypad axes only by 4096. Mice are unscaled here.
Meaning you can use joypads and mice together at the same time now.

Also updated the input config panel to add all the new input devices.
Assignment is still sketchy. My idea is to separate axis movement from
button movement, and allow fast mouse movements (+/- 20 in a given
direction) or strong joypad axis movements (~50% tolerance+) to assign
axis stuff. For buttons, they'd work as before, but you can also click
a mouse button with the mouse over the input capture window.

Disabled Xlib mouse acceleration during capture mode. I don't notice a
difference, but I may as well leave it in case it matters somewhere.
Sadly, it looks like buttons 4/5 are never set via XQueryPointer(),
and you can only get buttons 6-9 with event callbacks. Since the input
wrapper doesn't own the window (in actuality, GTK+ does), I can't
safely bind the XEvents to capture those. So left, middle, right click
only on Linux.

After that's done, we should start polishing for the next release.

Really? That's interesting. Not sure I like that. If I call
listbox.set_selection(0), I would expect it to select the first entry,
not the eleventh.

It does sound very convenient 99.9% of the time, though; I agree.

Oh geez, let me guess. You can drag a listbox item out of one app, and
drop it into another, and the other app can now invoke your callback
functions for activate / change with it? :P

Excellent, very good to know, thank you. You sir, are a treasure trove
of knowledge! :D

So, should I go the Windows way for the majority; or the Xlib way
since it's a bit cleaner? At least, when you consider most mice have
three buttons these days.
