The following idea is better:

"Doing it right" means supporting an _arbitrary_ number of 
axes, not 6 or 16.  Also an arbitrary number of buttons.

Just because plib is currently limited to 16 does not mean
FG should make the same mistake.

Over the years FG has become progressively less vulnerable
to the limitations of plib.  It is easy to foresee a day 
when all plib dependencies have been removed from FG.
