agreed. programmer should simply try and use pinch gestures and if he doesnt
get any either its not possible (no multi-touch device) or, no emulated
gesture/input is being used (he really is looking at zoom not pinch so you can
emulate with mousehweels etc. or other actions like "double tap" and so on).
the programmer shouldn't decide by system configuration decides - if someone
wishes to violate the patent by turning it on, they can, but otherwise it's off
by default. in theory we maybe should also shoudl be able to compile out the
code to handle the bevhavior which at the app level will result in the same
thing as it being off in config - it just can never be turned on without a
recompile (freetype did this with bytecode hinting for many years).
