User Interface Changes:
[Windows] Added a "Miscellaneous Inputs" menu item to the Options menu, allowing the user to configure miscellaneous inputs.

[Windows GUI] Fixed a small bug on the "Interface Options" dialog (bug #551)

Source Changes:
Added a "variable peripherals" feature that allows drivers to identify which inputs pertain to a given peripheral, like a gamepad or a lightgun. Changed A2600 and NES drivers to use this feature. (bug #550 was a related issue)
It is now possible to specify IP_NAME_DEFAULT in PORT_KEY declarations; the name of the key will be derived by the unicode values.
