Subject: adding pointing/-er input device support for touchscreen use

greetings.

i'm working on adding touchscreen support to freevo. the immediate need is 
the ability to select videos to watch in a museum installation.

just managed to get it working in the cvs version -- required quite a bit 
of digging into the event system, area handlers, and even to the 
underlying mevas library (where am finally getting the widget(s) clicked 
on -- they are then mapped back to items using a new dict in listing_area)

am happy that there's a working 'proof-of-concept' now, but haven't had 
the time to clean it up yet. however, as there are some design decisions 
to consider, and as i'm totally new to Freevo, there surely are many of 
you who could have a say about this. so i put up a current diff to 
http://an.org/freevo/freevo-pointer_input-dirty.diff for you to flame..

there's one problematic part on the mevas side, perhaps the author of that 
is here too?

oh and before doing this i gathered what could find in the archives to our
wiki at http://studio.kyperjokki.fi/engine/FreevoPointerInput -- feel free 
to comment / add pointers there too, i'll add a link to the draft patch 
there as well (didn't check yet if could add things to FreevoWiki too)

must hurry elsewhere now. back on-line on Monday, but probably won't have 
time to continue this before Tuesday. will try to finish next week, 
accommodating possible feedback.

~Toni
