Futher:
joystick certainly build fine here - of course, it's not going to "work"
as my NetWinder isn't going to have a Joystick attached any time soon.
But it's certainly possible that you could have an analog joystick
attached to a RiscPC (via an anlogue port and adapter, which I've done
under RISC OS, or even via a // port), plus I'm sure other machines are
able to have them attached, so the comment in that file "Only PCs have
analog joysticks" is a bit odd.
