Ok, I will do a multi-joystick driver. I had a idea yesterday before sleep, I 
would ask if this is possible:

to have a switch for the linker/compiler to link a specific module static at 
compiletime. That would solve the problem of I/O code in games which have no 
need for file I/O otherwise. em_load and em_unload are NOOPs in this case.
Do you think this is possible?
