Hi,
In the future, the plan is to be able to have the parser handle partial
config files, so you can put one or a few statements into an xorg.conf,
and have it use the defaults for everything else.

This should go into a client.  Since they're hotpluggable, you have a
client which remembers the settings for your particular tablet, and sets
them whenever you plug it in.

Cheers,
Daniel
