A very naive implementation, but seems to play well.

accelerometer.patch does play really well and adds a lot to the game.  Although 
if I tilt to far, for a rebound shot, the app rotates to landscape mode.  I 
might be an idea to disable screen rotation in accelerometer mode.

The accelerometer patch was applied as of version 1.13.

The option menu now contains a "Targeting Mode" option that opens a dialog when 
selected.  The dialog allows the player to select one of the following three 
options:
1) Aim Then Shoot
2) Point To Shoot
3) Rotate Then Shoot

The implementation could probably use some improvement to be more responsive, 
but it works pretty good for such a naive implementation.

Per johnboyholmes suggestion, I lock the screen to portrait mode when the 
accelerometer-based targeting mode is selected.  The portrait mode will flip 
upside down if the screen is rotated enough, so you can use 2 device 
orientations to play, which is handy depending where your headphone jack, USB 
ports, and device buttons are located.
