Wiimote support

[Funto]

Finally, after more than 3 years (http://oldforum.freegamedev.net/index.php?t=msg&goto=23069&S=0544c6d9ca2945479cf0035ef98957de), the SVN trunk of STK has support for the wiimote (for Linux only for now)! (if you compile with the USE_WIIUSE CMake option).
There is still some fine tuning to do, and I would be pleased if I could get some feedback from the people on the forum. Right now I think the turning with the accelerometers is not reactive enough, and the mapping of the keys is probably going to change.

Samuncle, maybe you can set the -DUSE_WIIUSE option to the nightly builds so more people can test?

Nice work funto!

Congratulations funto, great job. I wish I had a wii-mote here to test it. That should definitely be included in the next blog post.

Please help us by confirming especially Windows instructions for Wiimote in the Wiki for the SuperTuxKart 0.8.1 Release: http://supertuxkart.sourceforge.net/Wiimote
It would be nice to use the accordion menu from the Download page. That's why the article uses the classes from the download page, but it doesn't work.

Edit: after Windows is confirmed, you can remove the Warning that it's untested

WARNING!

Wiimote will be ready for 0.8.1 ?
I made a controller icon for that some time ago in "Nitrous and other things"

Sorry i don't want to change this subject but you were talking about Gamepad and I was thinking that in the new game version: nobody will be able to know that you CAN play with your wiimotes

So I re-create "Option-input.png" (the Wiimote draw was made with Inkscape, come from Openclipart and was in Public Domain, i modified the outline and deleted the "WII" letters at the bottom of the wiimote)

New -->
Now people will play with wiimotes

Yep, I think so. From IRC

11:39 < hiker> Tomorrow morning (tonight for all of you) ... hopefully ... we can upload them
11:39 < hiker> Arg, we still need to fill the wiimote web page :(

Edit: Nice icon.
