L.S.

Someone informed me descent doesn't compile anymore so I had a look:
GIIK_PComma and GIIK_PDot are now GIIK_PSeparator and GIIK_PDecimal
respectively. Good. But what about GIIK_PInsert?

Also, I'm just starting to really use the GII stuff now (adding
joystick/spaceorb support to descent), and the docs on using them (env.
variable init strings etc.) are rather vague and/or missing (e.g. I
couldn't find anything on the spaceorb in
degas/lib/libgii/doc/inputs.txt or the man pages, or have I missed
something?).

Some error messages in the source could also be a bit clearer, e.g.
spaceorb/input.c line 344:

                perror("SpaceOrb: Failed to open spaceorb device");

Is rather unhelpful if one doesn't know what the device used is (i.e. if
one isn't familiar with the spaceorb source which sets /dev/spaceorb).

I've changed it to 

                fprintf(stderr, "SpaceOrb: Failed to open spaceorb device %s\n",
filename);

Enough nitpicking,

If make any further 'improvements' I'll make a patch.

Bye,

Wouter
