nirenjan f9be0b3172 Move x52cli documentation into Doxygen 
Prior to this change, the x52cli man page was a manually created file
that was out of date with the source. Rather than update that file, and
maintain a separate document for the HTML sources, it makes sense to
consolidate both the HTML and manpage documentation to a Doxygen page
block within the source and update the Doxyfile to generate man pages as
well.

This change also removes the obsolete manually maintained manpage, and
falls back to Doxygen to build and install the manpage.

Saitek X52Pro joystick driver for Linux

This project adds a new driver for the Saitek/MadCatz X52 Pro flight control system. The X52 pro is a HOTAS (hand on throttle and stick) with 7 axes, 39 buttons, 1 hat and 1 thumbstick and a multi-function display which is programmable.

Currently, only Windows drivers are available from Saitek PLC, which led me to develop a new Linux driver which can program the MFD and the individual LEDs on the joystick. The standard usbhid driver is capable of reading the joystick, but it cannot control the MFD or LEDs.

Most of the extra functionality can be handled from userspace. See the individual folders for README information.
