Joystick support for Mac?

Huh. I just assumed that joysticks were supported but when I took a peek... ooops... nothing :(
Are there any current plans to implement joystick support? I almost started doing it today but then realized that I'm too easily distracted and need to get back to more pressing things. So mostly I'm just curious if it's likely to happen or if I need to tack it onto the end of my todo list. As I've made a game on the Mac with joystick support before I don't expect it would be too hard to get up and running, but I'm not sure about how hard it would be to properly integrate it into TGB.

I spent 4 hours and I added gamepad support for my tetris game. It's not full featured by any means, (I still don't know how Torque expects a lot of it to work), but it's enough to handle some buttons and the d-pad (which on my USB-connected SNES controller actually looks like an axis).
If the GarageGames crew would be oh so kind enough to pay me, I'd give it ago at making it full featured ;)

Ken -- I've contacted various GarageGames employees about this, and they have no plans to add Mac joystick support.

Seth -- Any chance I could get a copy of your changes/additions? I don't need anything full-featured. Just supporting the D-pad and buttons would be great!Ken -- I've contacted various GarageGames employees about this, and they have no plans to add Mac joystick support.
