Some cleanups on the new XInput code. One or two things got moved around, but largely this is hooked up correctly in the Unix configure system now: it can be dynamically loaded and fallback gracefully if not available, or libXi can be directly linked to libSDL. XInput support can be --disable'd from the configure script, too (defaults to enabled). Please note that while the framework is in place to gracefully fallback, the current state of the source requires XInput. We'll need to adjust a few things still to correct this.

Gets a snapshot of the current keyboard state\&. The current state is return as a pointer to an array, the size of this array is stored in \fBnumkeys\fR\&. The array is indexed by the \fI\fBSDLK_*\fP\fR symbols\&. A value of 1 means the key is pressed and a value of 0 means its not\&. The pointer returned is a pointer to an internal SDL array and should not be freed by the caller\&.
