[PD] Classic Controlloer for [wiimote] (was: [wiimote] for ubuntu)

[Pagano, Patrick]

I was/am using wiimote stuff on linux. When I connect the wiimote the first time the nunchuck values are pegged [full] and do not react. If I disconnect and re-connect the nunchuck works but then pd crashes and will not update the sliders after about 5minutes. I was using WOz's stuff from audioscape [o.4/o.6]

When connecting to a wiimote with a Classic Controller attached,
[wiimote] prints to the Pd console:

 wiimote 0 is successfully connected
 Retrieved wiimote calibration: zero=(123,123,123) one=(147,148,148)
 Classic controller attached. There is no real support for this yet.

Pressing keys and using the analog sticks of the extension doesn't cause
any output, also there doesn't seem to be a method to activate
reporting. 

I found two indications for a previous activation to be necessary: 
 * When [wiimote] is connected to a wiimote with attached Classic
Controller, using the Classic Controller does not cause any bluetooth
traffic
 * in the wmgui example from cwiid, also the Classic Controller (like
Nunchuk and MotionPlus) needs to be activated. Once it is activated,
there is bluetooth activity when using it (of course).

In the wiimote.c source I was unable (with my limited c skills) to find
any hint, that a 'reportClassic' or similar method exists. So probably
this is the reason, that Classic Controller currently doesn't work in
[wiimote]. The same probably applies to the Balance extension, which I
am unable to test myself.

Also it would like to hear some feedback about the Nunchuk support.
