Version 0.5

updated the driver to return the buttons as positive logic, and read both axis at once
and added some new ioctls.
Version 0.4
Linux 0.99.6 and fixed race condition in js_read. After looking at a schematic of a joystick card
it became apparent that any write to the joystick port started ALL the joystick one shots. If the
one that we are reading is short enough and the first one to be read, the second one will return
bad data if it's one shot has not expired when the joystick port is written for the second time.
