[LAU] Midipoke 0.1, an XY(Z)-controller for touchpads

[Raine M. Ekman]

So, after asking here about MIDI controllers for touchpads a while back I 
went ahead and made something out of my vision of how it could work. It's 
a pretty primitive command line X11 program sending ALSA MIDI. X, Y and 
Z axes can be mapped to controllers or pitch bend and 2-fingered touch 
can also be used as an on/off switch for hold pedal, portamento or 
whatever.

For now there is only source to download, but as there aren't very many 
dependencies it shouldn't be much of a hurdle to compile and run. Bug 
reports and improvements are welcome.

You'll need a touchpad that works with the Synaptics driver in X to use 
this, but beware that any driver version and hardware compatibility is 
quite untested, except for Ubuntu Karmic on Eeepc 901.
