Hopefully someone releases some precompiled header files so that we have steering control instead of joysticks.

That's not exactly true. Right now, the only joysticks/steering wheels/etc. that the DS supports are standard HID joystick devices that don't require drivers. There's no (published, anyway) way to get any special drivers onto the DS. (see section 3.1.8 of the control system manual or look around the beta forums)

Also, keep in mind that the Driver's Station is Linux based so if there were a way to use drivers, then they'd have to be for that platform.
