Title: Fix Wiimote battery problem

Hello,
I'm using a Raspberry Pi with XBMC on it as media center for my TV (raspbmc distrib to be precise). After being bored to use my smartphone as remote to control XBMC, I realised I could use my old Wiimote, and enjoy the package ready for that.
But I don't know what happen, after 6 hours of use, my wiimote batteries were flat. They were completely new at the start. I thought it was a one time problem, so I tried again : same problem. But this solution was so great, I wanted to find a solution.
After many searches, I realised it was using WiiUse, and I mention that motion sensors are constantly sending data. It explain why the batteries are quickly flat. After some changes on `WiiUse_WiiRemote.cpp` to disable this feature (because in our case we don't use the motion sensor, we just want to use buttons), re-compile, test. Now a good battery charge last for weeks.

This is why I would like to ask if we could make small changes on `xbmc/tools/EventClients/Clients/WiiRemote/WiiUse_WiiRemote.cpp`.

I don't know if my problem is recurrent, or if my solution is relevant.
Thanks,
