New version: feedback welcome

Hi,

in CVS there is a modified version of the DirectInput plugin:

The plugin now uses a timer-based polling approach instead
of reacting to each and every single event.

Reasons:

* Gamepads can fire BIG bursts of events (especially the analog sticks),
MP only needs "some" of them.
* The XBox-pad simply didn't work with the old plugin. For some reason, the device didn't fire events the plugin was waiting for.

SO it would be interesting to know:

* if gamepads still work "as usual", maybe better for analog sticks (I have a much better response with my logitech pad - less nervous)
* if there are still pads that don't work (especially xbox controllers)
* if there is a cpu-load impact

So feedback is welcome! Thanks folks!

Daniel
