Doesn't work for joydev devices #10

It looks like this had previously been configured to ignore any joystick device containing the string (js) (dbc30fe07f945af43540be27f49a4bd5ebb9feb4). This works as intended, assuming that an evdev device for the same joystick actually exists, but if there is no evdev device then it will fail to detect the joystick at all. I'm not really sure how common that situation is, but I have been having issues with getting a joydev device, but not evdev, so it would be nice to have this behave a little smarter when that happens.

I've added check for two environment variables:
