Improve input-linux-evdev. What it does is just plain wrong IMO; it should
return a devinfo for each device present.

Hmm... both very good points. Not sure if I like the idea of
yet another table of values -- my inclination would be to enable
the use of any sized string somehow, and return a standard format
string from which hw version/vendor can be parsed easily -- that
way programs that do not care about version/vendor can just print
it and the full info is printed out.

The more I look at LibGII the more I think that any work on it whatsoever
would be greatly appreciated :-) The code there is surely not living
up to the API's potential.
