changed macro MAX_G_FORCE to SDL_IPHONE_MAX_GFORCE and moved it to the SDL_config_iphoneos.h file. This should allow users to convert between the Sint16 returned by polling the joystick and units of g-force, which better describe what is going on with the iPhone (and are what the iPhone OS actually gives you). This conversion wouldn't be necessary except that we'd need floating point to store everything as g-force.

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
\fBSDL_JoyBallEvent\fR is a member of the \fI\fBSDL_Event\fR\fR union and is used when an event of type \fBSDL_JOYBALLMOTION\fP is reported\&.
.PP
A \fBSDL_JOYBALLMOTION\fP event occurs when a user moves a trackball on the joystick\&. The field \fBwhich\fR is the index of the joystick that reported the event and \fBball\fR is the index of the trackball (for a more detailed explaination see the \fIJoystick section\fR)\&. Trackballs only return relative motion, this is the change in position on the ball since it was last polled (last cycle of the event loop) and it is stored in \fBxrel\fR and \fByrel\fR\&.
