Making the dexconf conditional on the presence of /dev/input/wacom is
actually pretty simple (see attached patch).

However, as others point out in this and other wacom threads, this
obviously would break things for wacom users who did not have their
wacom attached when they boot the system, so this patch would exchange
warnings for a bug.  Not good.

In any case, the patch works for me to remove the wacom entries from
xorg.conf, in case anyone finds it of use.

Longer term, input hotplugging will be added to xserver itself, and once
the wacom driver supports hotplugging, then we can safely drop this
entirely.
