[PD] mousestate

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

- [rawjoystick] uses the Linux input event system, rather than the older
joystick interface, but that shouldn't make a visible difference.  

- [rawjoystick] has a fixed number of outlets, [joystick]'s outlets are dynamically
generated.

- [rawjoystick] supports a hat switch.  (My joystick only has one, so
that's what I based it on....)

- [rawjoystick] uses addpollfn to get the data from the joystick, which I
believe makes Pd respond whenever there is joystick event
data.  [joystick] uses a clock_delay, which polls, then waits for a
certain length of time (5 ms by default, but configurable)  I could be
wrong about addpollfn.  Its in m_imp.h rather than m_pd.h, so it may not
be the best way to go...

I am now working on the same objects but written using libSDL, so this one
should work on Win, Linux, MacOS 9/X, BSD, etc.  I renamed the original
[raw...] objects to [linux...] ([linuxjoystick, for example) since they
are linux specific.
