Weston multitouch support?

[José Expósito]

Hi Daniel,

I'm asking because I'm the author of this tool:
https://code.google.com/p/touchegg/

That is exactly what you mention but for X11. So I'd like to port it to
Wayland if it is possible of course.

Does this mean that it is possible to get multi touch gestures in the
compositor at the moment?
Will or is it possible to use both approach? I mean, get system gestures in
the compositor and app specified gestures in the clients, like in OS X.

Thank you very much!
