Out of curiosity, what exactly are you working on? Is this about using a (game) joystick as mouse just for fun, or is this necessary for an IBM TrackPoint?

The Trackpoint is nothing but a PS/2 mouse, no special drivers are required.

It does not work that much differently from a classic ball mouse, anyway. Instead of having opto-sensors to detect ball movement, it has force sensors.
And that's not that much different from joysticks of the 8 bit era, either.
