Cross Platform Object Oriented Input Lib System. Meant to be very robust and
compatiable with many systems and operating systems.

This is the official repository and is a continuation of the great work done by pjcast on the old sourceforge repo.

- Merge pull requests/patches send in over time
- Cleanup and remove dead-code
