- cleaned up hid-ids.h, we only need the Nintendo IDs.

- made versioning more maintainable
- renamed README to README.md
- changed project name to hid-wiimote-plus to distinguish it from the original
- added version information to the module, to make it easier to identify if it's loaded

+hid-wiimote-plus
+================
+
+This is a modification of the built-in Linux kernel module for Nintendo Wii remotes. It's
+a drop-in replacement for the original module.
+
+
+How is it different?
+--------------------
+
+1. The mapping from Wii remotes (and accessories) buttons and axes was modified to respect
+   the Linux kernel conventions, and behave like gamepads, instead of a mixture of gamepad
+   and keyboard. For convenience, [gamepad.rst](gamepad.rst) from the Linux docs is
+   included here.
+
+  - D-pad buttons are now mapped to `BTN_DPAD_*` events, instead of keyboard arrow keys.
+
+  - Buttons +/Start and -/Select are now mapped to `BTN_START and BTN_SELECT`.
+
+  - Face/action buttons are now mapped to east, south, north, west buttons.
+
+2. Better battery status reporting, to make it interact more nicely with desktop
+   environments.
+
+3. Memory allocation is done in the module's scope, so it's guaranteed to be released when
+   the module unloads.
+
+4. Accelerometer and gyro devices register proper metadata
+   (`INPUT_PROP_ACCELEROMETER` and correct units.)
+
+5. Sticks (Nunchuk and Classic Controller) don't invert the Y axis anymore. Positive
+   values mean "down."
+
+6. Classic Controller Pro no longer reports analog shoulder buttons (L/R), only
+   the Classic Controller (not Pro) has them. Range for analog shoulder buttons
+   has been corrected from [-30,+30] to [0,+60].
+
+7. Balance Board reports its sensors as HAT0X, HAT1X, HAT2X, HAT3X; that is,
+   four 1-D axes instead of two 2-D axes.
+
+8. No more emulation of an analog stick through the d-pad.
+
+
+How to install?
+---------------
+
+You will need the kernel development headers in your system. Additionally, you will need
+the DKMS package; it allows for easy install and uninstall, and will automatically rebuild
+the module when the kernel is updated.
+
+Use the commands:
+
+    sudo make install
+
+To uninstall, use:
+
+    sudo make uninstall
+
+
+If you just want to test it, without installing it, use these commands instead:
+
+    make build
+    sudo rmmod hid-wiimote
+    sudo insmod ./hid-wiimote.ko
+
