This patch switches the daemon to use input properties. One can still
use the SHMConfig as fallback.

This patch prevents the polling of the keyboard state. Instead it uses the
XRecord extension of the Xserver for an event triggered notification of key
events. Of course, there is a fallback to the polling when no XRecord
extension is found. This should finally stop complains of syndaemon
preventing good power saving.

The new directory "include" was not packaged into the tarball. This makes "make
distcheck" work again.

This file causes devices having the capability "input.touchpad" to use our
driver if they were made by Synaptics or ALPS. This file might need additions
for other devices (i.e. I don't think Apple hardware is covered by this file).

Note: This file is not installed by default. Distributions are free to install
it or leave it.

Let's keep the driver source and the client program source separate.

This is the second part of fixing the backend part of synaptics. The new build
system is now able to detect whether it's running on *BSD or on Linux and will
only build the backends that are available on these platforms. Also it will
remove any reference from the built driver to the non-available backends.
Thanks to Christian Schmitt for reporting.

The old buildsystem defined "__LINUX" which enabled or disabled the complete
sources for eventcomm. The new buildsystem now adds the files to build
eventcomm dynamically if the host OS is Linux. This also fixes the bug
reported by Christian Schmitt.

Copy over the build system and adapt it to our needs. Also backup the old build
so we can check if it contained anything helpful.
