afaik
allegro supports various joystick controls (incl. the cooliehat).
studying the lib could help you:
http://alleg.sourceforge.net/
the
win32sdk multimedia api reference describes joyGetPosEx(), which can also be used to retrieve point-of-view flags (JOYINFOEX structure / JOY_POV*) that are generated by a cooliehat (at least i think so, i don't even own a joystick) - though this might not be the fastest way
there'll also be some info in the direct-x sdk for sure...
hope this helps a bit.
