joystickwake-9999.ebuild

Hi,

I think this ebuild should go to games-util.

> Linux gamers often find themselves unexpectedly staring at a blank screen,
> because their display server fails to recognize game controllers as input
> devices and allows the screen blanker to activate during gameplay. This
> program attempts to work around the problem by periodically delaying screen
> blankers when it detects joystick activity.
> 
> Once installed, joystickwake launches automatically when a user logs in to
> any modern linux desktop environment. It can also be run manually, either
> from a command prompt or from a user-created menu entry. It then monitors
> udev to find joystick devices (including those that are plugged in later)
> and reacts to activity from any of them.

Tested under Xfce-4.10 on a stable system. Works perfectly.

On a stable system, you need to :
 - set PYTHON_TARGETS with python3_4 in make.conf
 - unmask python3_4 USE on dev-python/pyudev
python-3.4 is required for asyncio module.
