Subject: [PATCH 2/2] input: mousedev: Emulate right and middle buttons for
 single-button touchpads

On most linux-based systems, the right and middle buttons are used
extensively. On computers lacking either of those buttons, such as
the Apple Macbooks, emulation is needed. This patch adds emulation
of the missing buttons via two-fingers-and-click and three-fingers-
and-click operations, which has recently become standard, both in
MacOS and in the Xorg synaptics driver.
