moltengamepad for Debian
-----------------------

* a user "gamepad" is created
* all known gamepads have their device nodes owned by "gamepad" through udev rules
  (these udev rules are contained in the package moltengamepad-data)
* /dev/uinput is owned by user "gamepad" as well
* /usr/bin/moltengamepad is installed setuid gamepad to have access to the device files
* /etc/xdg/moltengamepad/moltengamepad.cfg is contained in this package
  and is configured to present 2 permanently attached XBox 360 gamepads to the system.
  This allows games for 2 players to work right away with no hassle.
* The package moltengamepad-data contains the /etc/xdg/moltengamepad/gendevices and profiles
  for known gamepads.
* The program moltengamepad is NOT automatically started. Users that want it have to start it
  manually, e.g.
     moltengamepad --stay-alive </dev/null &
  Usually this command would be put into some auto-start file.
