Its actually very close to working for basic use cases right now.  The
pen/eraser works mostly OK.  There are only two small patches needed to get
the touch pad working at level I think most people will find acceptable (its
not usable without those patches).  I've attached those two patches for
yours and others reference.  Patch 0001 ports a missing patch already in
linuxwacom-0.8.5-9.  0002 makes minimum additional changes to get touch pad
working without unwanted button presses but hasn't been committed it
linuxwacom just yet.

There will be additional patches later on though as I port more of Jason's
patches and we improve behaviour and fix bugs.  But there are some things to
be discussed before the next batch of patches is ready.  Commiting this
minimum set would help users out in mean time.

I think this is a good idea since there will be additional patches in the
pipeline.  I juggle multiple projects as well and also lose track of
contributed patches without some sort of tracker.  Git does that tracking
just fine it seems.

I'm sure end users would appreciate the staging area as well instead of
monitoring mailing list so closely.
