[PATCH weston 0/5] Touchpad support

Hi,

This series of changes introduces better support for touchpads when using
evdev for input handling. Some of the ideas and algorithms used comes from
the xserver and xf86-input-synaptics repositories.

The various functionality implemented are anti-flicker (avoid jumping
around), smoother motions, touch detection, pointer acceleration and
some more.
    
Pointer acceleration is implemented as one generic part, and one touch
specific part.

I have only access to one touchpad device, so I'd appreciate any feedback
on compatibility.

Some interesting question arises and that is configuration. A user would
probably want to change pointer acceleration, sensitivity parameters etc
without rebuilding - are there any plans of how these types of
interfaces should work?
