yeah but clock() doesnt really solve it (and needs divisions and stuff to work
across targets...ugly :o))

oh yes, that might be a problem ....

yes ofcoz... but in this case (joystick) not an issue :o) atleast my
joystickroutines usually consist of one routine only :=P
mmmmh....sounds tricky actually... maybe we should leave the normal joystick
support as is, and define an advanced api in addition (which then works by
loadable modules)? i dont know...just dont like the idea of linking a lot of
code statically when its not needed.
