It all looks good except for patch 8/9 and the few minor comments here
and there.  As for 8/9, I don't think we need a 32 deep event queue to
deal with the SYN events properly.  We're never going to get more than
one key or button press or release per SYN event, and only one event
per axis.  So we should be able to just set a flag to track which one
it was and store the key or button code or the axis value, and then
just deliver it at SYN time.
