Ricky, this version should behave exactly the same as bcm5974-dkms
v1.1.3 for earlier MacBook models since (as P. Dunbar said) the part
that changes the behavior only runs when the hardware has an integrated
button. So, unless the integrated button detection method in the code is
wrong, it should work fine for earlier MacBooks.

As for the "ignoring the thumb at the bottom quarter" feature, it would
be nice to have that too (shouldn't be too hard to do anyway), but I
think that needs its own bug report, as it is out of the scope of this
one.

Bug description:
This patch makes the click-and-drag work for MacBook(Pro) 5,1+ (the ones with a touchpad with integrated button). Two-finger-clicking is still functional with the patch. The behavior when clicking with two fingers on the touchpad should closely resemble that of OS X. Also attached is a deb package to test the patch.
