It's been ~3 weeks. Any ideas?

If you think this patch should be pursued in this form, I'd like to
post a v4 that adds BTN_DPAD_{UP,DOWN,LEFT,RIGHT} on the off chance
someone wants to use a controller. I dropped them initially since
they are not keyboard keys, but button presses are delivered through
the keyboard. Hence, they should be included.

Thanks,
Jason
