 Patch for BJoystick,  i have tested it with different applications and can
 use a joystick normally in these apps.  This BJoystick patch does not yet
 parse joystick configuration files etc,  not sure this is even needed
 anymore because most people will use usb.  But this could be completed as
 most of the work has been done already by various people in
 JoystickTweaker if backward compatibility is critical.

 Also a patch for the usb_joy driver,  it works with this BJoystick.  There
 was a problem with the usb_joy driver causing a crash,  this has been
 fixed.  The bug was to do with realloc in driver.c.  Now whether you want
 to enable the usb_joy driver for haiku is another matter.  But at least
 for now people can use some of the supported gamepads etc that usb_joy
 supports.
