Here is a diagram to illustrate how your applications such as emulators and games etc. can support both the standard stick AND D-pads simultaneously (no need for menu options).
Since some mods are being done and any future GP2X versions would probably use a D-pad (I would guess anyway due to all of the complaints with the current stick) this is increasingly important.
*MOST* applications already do support this. This is just to make sure for future apps.
Why this works with no problem or need for a menu option? Well the standard stick cannot physically do a sw1+sw3, and a d-pad lacks the sw2
