Ok, so I am finally releasing a new version of [hid] and company.
There has been quite a bit added, so hopefully it was worth the wait.
when devices have mis-labeled elements
added rudimentary force feedback support in Mac OS X (more to come)
added a number of mapping objects like [hid_vector] and [hid_polar]
