Hi Wayne,

Once Garth replies, let's open another thread about the OS X trackpad patch
of his.  I've been using it locally on OS X for a while, and it's been
really nice.  I had Nick try it out on Linux as well.

It does change a little bit of behavior on non-OS X systems, which is why
I'm looking to get some eyes on it from the greater team, not just OS X
folks.

This isn't going to hold up my nightlies, however.
