Ok, had to make some assumptions but here's a patch adding calls to the 
device-specific conversion routines defined in the LocalDeviceRec structure.

This will make it possible to send extension events with the granulatity on x 
& y axis of the sending device while the core-events will be scaled to the 
screen resolution.


During testing I did saw some strange results in the befinning of every stroke 
in Gimp with my tablet in relative mode, there would always be a line from 
0,0 to the current position. This is not related to this patch however.
