If it's more generic, and it's the offical way of dealing with inputs 
libevdev seems a better choice.

I think then that the best solution is doing a "gb.input" (or something 
like that) component with:

- A part written in C that implements all needed utilities functions 
based on libevdev.

- A part written in Gambas that implements the actual public interface 
in a clean, easy and beautiful way. This interface will make the 
difference between a joystick, a keyboard, a mouse, etc. so that the 
user does not have to handle the evdev way of seeing devices.

Note: yes, a component can have both a C and a gambas part.
