the hardware/wiimote external does something similar and was actually
tested with 6 wiimotes (with the motionplus) in an installation that
lasted for several weeks; i consider it stable.
(bluetooth is making more problems here, as you usually cannot use more
than 4 or so wiimotes on a single dongle)

it also takes care of threading (using an internal queue to sync between
libcwiid and Pd)
i'm not sure whether ico ever looked at _that_ code, and whether it
still has the problems he was experiencing (with other versions of that
external?)


i would very much like to integrate all the changes into a single
object, rather than having 3 or 4 objects named "wiimote" around, all of
them trying to fix the same problems.

i don't have so much hardware to test it, though i tried my best to add
support for motionplus, classic, nunchuk (with the unfortunate spelling
error) and balance.

the only thing i never managed to work out was the speaker...
