Here is the problem -- the plib joystick support from Windows seems to
be reporting the name supplied by the driver rather than the raw name
supplied by the USB device itself.  We should move the discussion over
to the plib devel list -- when we fix the problem there, it will be
solved for FlightGear as well.
