Before you reinvent the wheel Peter can you read the USB device's GUID or is that specific to particular OS / driver implementations ?
SDL has a standard mapping somewhat like you propose, e.g. for my Buffalo gamepad it is:
"0300c2f8830500006020000010010000,iBuffalo SNES Controller,a:b0,b:b1,back:b6,dpdown:+a1,dpleft:-a0,dpright:+a0,dpup:-a1,leftshoulder:b4,rightshoulder:b5,start:b7,x:b2,y:b3,hint:SDL_GAMECONTROLLER_USE_BUTTON_LABELS:=1,platform:Linux"
And there are graphical tools that allow a user to generate these for any attached controller by pressing the buttons when prompted.
So if this were portable ...
Best wishes,
Tom
