After waiting and thinking about howto get a user-side driver to
make individual keys "click," and after wading thru the 30 pages
of python that i'm now getting my head around, I decided to try
it myself. Borrow here/there, and put in my own click.c into
the daemon. According to the one-laptop-per-child group my
program might be a win for their platform. The "keyboard" is
membrane-style. Et cetera.
Even if it only help me on my old 2005 Thinkpad, hey....
