Using the joypad API won't help that much I think.
We have many inputs, not just 4:
- wings & head
- light level
- IR codes
- future: battery level
Some of those inputs are on events, some are on polling (which could be 
also on events if there is a trigger level in the firmware such as low 
batt warning)

We have many outputs, more than what feedback joystick API could offer
- eyes, mouth, wings, spin movements
- eyes leds, IR led

We have still the major issue to be dealt by a daemon: allowing multiple 
applications to interact with the Tux.

And having a "false" joystick being the Tux could make strange thinks 
with games using automatically any found joystick...
