HOWTO: Wii remote in Ubuntu 8.04

"I'd like to thank leffect for posting http://ubuntuforums.org/showthread.php?t=535659 and all the contributors too. I'd also like to thank Cyborg_572 for clearing up a mouseemu related bug that used to effect this howto. Hopefully I'll update https://help.ubuntu.com/community/CWiiD to reflect this howto as well.

"Your computer must have a known working bluetooth adapter, a Wii remote. An infra-red light source is required if you wish to use your Wii remote to behave like a mouse from an IR light source, such as the Wii sensor bar, some candles, an incandescent light, etc. An IR LED pen is required if you wish to setup a whiteboard with your Wii remote.
