Good, because after some thought, I think it's the one I like best as
well. ^_^

Well, from what I can tell based on svn blame and the contents of
MAINTAINERS, Alban Bedel seems to be "in charge" of the input and config
systems. Alban, if you're around, do you have any advice or suggestions?

(I would not be inherently unwilling to do at least some of the work
myself, but A: I'm not sure I have time, B: I don't know if I'd know
where to start looking at the input system code, and C: I would have no
clue how to hook it in to the actually functional part.)
