Trammell,

As there is a getNumAxes(), I saw no reason why not to add
getNumButtons().

It's in CVS.

Also, I changed jsWindows.cxx to properly set num_buttons.
I did not build the windows version.
If someone could please test wether it still compiles,
and maybe even test the getNumButtons() output, that would
be great.
