Thomas,

	OK, I've put it into SVN.  Please download the new version and make sure 
I've done it right.  It's a simple patch, but I'm capable of anything.

Subject:	[Plib-devel] joystick OEMName fix for Windows XP/Vista

It seems that Microsoft no longer (Vista and maybe XP) places the
joystick OEMName in HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE, causing "getOEMProductName" to
fail. Instead, the joystick name can be found in HKEY_CURRENT_USER.

The attached patch has been tested on Windows XP and Windows Vista
with "JS_demo.exe" from the FlightGear project. If it fails to read
the value from HKLM, it attempts to read it from HKCU. I do not have
access to Win2k or 9x versions for testing.

Thanks.
