It works as expected. Cool! And many thanks! 
I removed the now bogus messages from wiimote.c (see attached
wiimote.patch)

Yo, that totally makes sense in my eyes. I find it usually much easier
to deal with messages split into elements
insteadOfHavingEverythingInOneBigSymbolProabablyEvenWithCamelCase (and
it pollutes the symbol table less).

I noticed that this works also for the other reporting submethodes. I
adapted the help patch accordingly and added the missing parts for
MotionPlus and ClassicController. Both seem fully functional. Still
missing is:

 * confirmation, that nunchuk works
 * testing of balance (and completing the section in the help file)

I'll put updated deb packages online.
