Joystick events & sdl2.framework on mac

Hi folks,

While a built-from-source version of sdl2 works fine on my mac, I have
found that when I use the mac framework available from the main site (
http://libsdl.org/release/SDL2-2.0.1.dmg), joystick events no longer post
to the event queue. One can explicitly poll the state of the joystick
axes/buttons, but they never appear on the event queue.

I discovered this while using PySDL2, and have some code/commentary here:

Also, possibly this is why this user (
http://forums.libsdl.org/viewtopic.php?t=9687) is having troubles? (I’d
post to the forum, but don’t have the account permissions to do so)
