[PD] HIDIO and Windows

[Hans-Christoph Steiner]

There isn't a functional [hidio] for Windows.  There is a bunch of  
test sketchs.  Plus it wouldn't work for mice or keyboards because  
Windows blocks access to those devices with its HID API.

There is an old [hidin] for Windows that's included with Pd-extended,  
but that won't get you mice/keyboards either.  You need to use the  
'raw input' API for that, IIRC.
