stephena 4b7a2c475c The first version of a GUI for event remapping is here!
Now for the things that aren't finished yet:

 - Only the most basic functions can be remapped.  If you
erase the mapping for those that can't yet be remapped,
you'll have to delete the 'keymap' line from stellarc and
start over.

 - Core events can only be remapped to other keys on the keyboard.
I haven't got the joystick remapping working yet (but it should
be easy to do).

 - The TIA needs to be modified to show 320 pixels horizontally.
Right now, I'm using 8 pixel-width fonts on a framebuffer of
160 pixels, so there's not a lot of horizontal real estate.
So text will probably overwrite other stuff.  This is cosmetic,
and WILL be fixed.

 - Modification of the TIA will break every frontends rendering
code.  It had to be done sometime ...

 - I haven't yet added any user feedback mechanism for the user.  So when
you go into remap mode and are about to remap a key, you won't
know it :)  I'll be adding arrows (like in XMAME) ...

I've added a "Game Information" menu, which shows things like Game name,
manufacturer, rarity, type, etc.  Basically stuff from the stella.pro file.
It has no purpose other than for coolness :)
