Yeah, it sounds like a fun problem to me too.  I was thinking that the 
coolest thing would be to have a gnome capplet type of configurator, 
that would let you select from multiple mathematical functions, and then 
SEE a graph of what each one does.  Then it would let you edit that 
graph by setting vertices (sort of a like the volume envelope editors in 
sound programs), and maybe specify linear interpolation vs. cubit 
spline, etc...  or allow you to enter an expression in scheme or python 
code that would compute the acceleration amount.

That would be cool, at least, but I doubt I'd ever get around to coding 
that UI :).
