Whoops. You are correct.   I'll correct that when I get the chance - hopefully
this evening.

While the config dialog is quite neat, and allows users to configure their
joysticks, it's still not as good as having a pre-existing set of bindings.

Given that it is much easier for users to generate bindings, it would be
great to streamline the process for submitting them to git.

At a simple level, we could set up an email alias (joysti...@flightgear.org) and
have a volunteer check them for suitability and either add the missing
name to an existing set of bindings, or check in the binding file if
appropriate.

Curt - would you be happy to create such an alias?

Anyone interested in handling the xml files?  If not, I'll do it.

I can then update the dialog to ask people to email them to
joysti...@flightgear.org
if creating a completely new set of bindings.

(A more advanced solution would be to have a way for users to submit joysticks
bindings from in-sim, but that's a bit more or a faff and open for
abuse - it'd be far too easy
to press the button by mistake or out of malice)
