SDL's code for exposing the accelerometer as a joystick on iOS currently uses UIAccelerometer, which was superseded by the CoreMotion framework and deprecated since iOS 5.
The UIAccelerometer code still works (for now), but it also throws deprecation warnings whenever SDL is built for iOS, since SDL's deployment target is no longer below iOS 5.
I've created a patch which replaces the old UIAccelerometer code with a replacement based on the CoreMotion framework. It has identical functionality (to SDL users), however iOS apps are now required to link to the CoreMotion framework when using SDL.
This adds support for all XInput devices, exposed through the SDL joystick API.
The button and axis reporting for XInput devices has been changed to match DirectInput and other platforms.
The game controller xinput mapping has been updated so this change is seamless.
There is a new hint, SDL_HINT_XINPUT_USE_OLD_JOYSTICK_MAPPING, for any applications that have hardcoded the old xinput button and axis set. This hint will be removed in SDL 2.1.

Now that SDL for iOS requires at least iOS 5.1 at runtime, there are several old codepaths in the UIKit backend which can be removed. I've attached a patch which does so.

Fix win32 build which was failing due to missing PRIs64.
This change adds definitions for the C99 PRIs16 and PRIu64
which are missing from <stdint.h> on at last win32 and
possibly other platforms.
These already existed in testgesture.c so I removed them
from there also.

If you #define NO_SDL_GLEXT before including SDL_opengl.h, it still includes the platform-provided glext.h. The comments indicate that this define is intended to be used when you provide your own glext.h (quote from SDL_opengl.h: "Define this if you have your own version of glext.h and want to disable the version included in SDL_opengl.h.")
This is a problem because glext.h depends on the contents of gl.h, and it's practical to let SDL_opengl.h pick the right #include for gl.h for our platform.
There were several good arguments for this: it's how Windows works with
WM_NCHITTEST, SDL doesn't need to manage a list of rects, it allows more
control over the regions (how do you use rects to cleanly surround a circular
button?), the callback can be more optimized than a iterating a list of
rects, and you don't have to send an updated list of rects whenever the
window resizes or layout changes.
SDL/WinRT did have support for OpenGL ES 2 via an older version of ANGLE/WinRT,
however its API changed a few months ago, and SDL/WinRT would crash when trying
to use it. It would also occasionally crash when using the older version.
This changeset should make SDL/WinRT work with the latest version, as
available via MS Open Tech's git repository of it at
https://github.com/msopentech/angle
Older versions of ANGLE/WinRT (from either https://github.com/stammen/angleproject
or https://bitbucket.org/DavidLudwig/angleproject) will need to be updated to
MS Open Tech's latest version.
Fix to allow using SDL when compiling with v110_xp or v120_xp -- compiling with VS2012/VS2013 with the XP targeting option.
In order to ensure that we can target Windows XP we compile with the v120_xp toolset instead of v120. This means that we use an earlier SDK version and it means that winapifamily.h is not available. Compiling for this old SDK can be detected using the _USING_V110_SDK71_ define which is set through the %(PreprocessorDefinitions) option.
