Controller remapping

If you've got a compiler handy, you can use this C file to determine your controller's config values. Note: Requires SDL headers/libs!

The bindings that follow are named after the buttons found on the Xbox 360 controller. Simply bind the values described above to the equivalent 360 controller value.
