[PD] Wiimote external for PC Platform

[Mike Wozniewski]

Hi Michael,

I haven't explored the Wii controller on Windows that much, but the 
defacto method is to use GlovePIE 
(http://carl.kenner.googlepages.com/glovepie) and re-map the Wii data to 
something useable by Pd (eg, MIDI).

Hope that helps,
-Mike
