Ohh, that was embarrassing. But hey, it wasn't meant for inclusion as
it was too hacky anyway :-)

If possible, I'd like to avoid this, as I currently already have to
work with SVN and Mercurial. Adding yet another revision control
system in my mind, would probably confuse the hell out of me...

The attached patch does this. I think this illustrates the problem
that I can't really tell touchscreens and touchpads apart. They are
both devices that have absolute axes, and emits the BTN_TOUCH signal.
I assume it will be necessary to be able to differentiate between
these two kinds of devices at some point?
