Here is an alpha test release of the cross-platform, unified [hid] object. It uses a event type/code naming scheme taken from the Linux input event system, since it is much cleaner than Microsoft DirectX, Apple HID Manager, or the USB HID schemes.

In this version, I cleaned up the code a bit and added a number of new mapping objects. Keyboards are supported under GNU/Linux thanks to Georg Holzmann. Standard joysticks and mice are supported almost exactly the same in GNU/Linux and MacOS X. Tablets are supported in GNU/Linux, but Wacom wrote a whack driver for MacOS X, so tablets are not yet supported in MacOS X.
