Controller/Hotkey bindings do not accept Xbox 360 controller triggers

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Open the "Controllers" or "Hotkeys" menu
2. Select a key to rebind
3. Press one of the analog triggers on the Xbox 360 controller

What is the expected output? What do you see instead?
Expected output: The input is bound to pressing the trigger.
Actual output: Trigger press is not detected.

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
BizHawk v1.0 (March 3, 2012)
Windows 7 Professional x64
Standard Xbox 360 Wireless Controller

Please provide any additional information below.
Nestopia detects trigger presses as (joy 0) +z (for left trigger) and -z (for 
right trigger), if this helps you handle the issue without access to a Xbox 360 
controller or wireless receiver.

Unfortunately we use directx, and 360 controllers demand xinput.  This will 
have to be low priority as it demands a non-trivial change.

For testing purposes for devs that don't have a 360 controller, you can setup 
x360ce which will emulate a 360 controller with any joypad you use.

http://code.google.com/p/x360ce/

Other issues with using a 360 pad:

If you remap any hotkeys or joystick keys to the 360 pad, the emulator will 
randomly act strange and not accept inputs, or lock inputs you aren't pressing.

The thumb sticks on the 360 pad (both L and R) are considered to be the Dpad.  
So any keys you map the dpad to will also be mapped to the joysticks.
