The other problem with making the arguments uint64_t* is that it is
a user-visible change and would require all clients of the jsJoystick
class to update their code.  I agree that if there is to be a change with
the number of supported buttons that it should be done the "right way",
rather than another temporary postponement of the inevitable.

I can envision a HOTAS stick and radio stack with far more than 64 or
128 buttons or knobs.  Who wants to go down in history as having said
that:

	64 buttons should be enough for anybody.
