Uhhh, yes. ;-)  As long as the game will recognize the input device, you can
map the function to it.

Deep breaths now, slow and easy.  That should do it...

Hehe, well, consider it in the new version then. :) Should be easy
enough to do, and I need the additional 'horn' control anyway. ;-)

By default the pov_angle control then will link to the steering
control directly, but can be made independent. Or perhaps the other
way round, hooking any control to any control (but I don't know if
that's really useful in general).
