I am working on making changes to the HID API. I'd like to see any
should be the same for all hids, imo.

sure, i like to share!
i have not gotten it to work as a plugin. i have however added OSC
support to DarwiinRemote in a private branch. it works well, but relies
on an OSCresponder to deal with the data. i hope to commit this new
version this weekend. i will drop a note here when it is available.
ultimately, treating as an HID device would be best, but the wiimote
cant be setup as as a HID in the OS. if someone wrote a new driver that
would attach it to the OS properly, then it should work as an HID
without altering SC. as far as i can tell, the HID code just talks to
the OS to find the devices.
i could add some primitives to talk to the wii with SC, but there is no
way to do that as a plugin currently, and if it was added to SC, then
*everyone* would have to have the required frameworks to compile it. if
anyone know how to do this without forcing it on everyone, i am all ears.
