So we need to develop a pygame/sdl library to hold stylus input. :-)

I'm on university vacation since monday and round robin schedule
between (maemo, mas, opie), so maybe it take a little to come with
something.

Just as an idea: track events (mouse or there is something different
for touchpad/stylus?) position and if's between a given threshold,
just hold the last value. If it's outside the threshold, use the last
point as a marker and store the segment. Then you make coordinates
relative or even translate into codes: RIGHT, UP, LEFT, DOWN, maybe
more granularity...
   If it can be simple enough like this, it's easy to implement. Let's
agree on requirements then I come with a python prototype that can be
later implemented in C for optimum performance.
