Point.  What do we need here?  Finger $n down, finger $n up, finger $n 
moved to $x,$y?  Does it make sense to just add this to the 
move+buttonup/down structs?  Or should it better be separate?

Is that actually done by the hardware?  I'd expect macos processes the 
multitouch events, then provides this (finger $n moves this fast into 
that direction) as high-level interface, so this isn't something we have 
to care about at virtual hardware level.

cheers,
