Joystick Configuration

Joystick button mappings are so different, that it is fairly hard to create a globally compatible joystick system, so a game programmer would usually have to resort to adding a configuration system in-game. It would be awesome if LOVE provided a dialog that could help you map your joystick more appropriately if a game gets the initial mapping wrong.

This sounds reminiscent of the LÖVE GUI...

Also, games that actually use joysticks for input usually are large enough that adding a joystick config system is not much of a problem.

Yeah.. I don't feel like this is what LÖVE should be doing either, any other devs a comment on this?

I'm with bartbes here; I think this falls outside the scope of what LÖVE should be doing.

It's not a bad idea for a user-contributed library, though.
