Henrik, thanks for having a look at the patch. I had thought that
synaptics was the right place for this functionality, and that's why I
looked at that first, but seeing that synaptics wasn't receiving the
coordinates for multiple fingers, I wrote a patch for bcm5974. Now, as I
understand it, you haven't yet released the bcm5974 patch to add MT
protocol support or the new driver that takes advantage of this MT
information, right? (or synaptics modifications? which one will it be?)
Since you wrote that you already have some code for these (and also for
click-and-drag?), I was wondering what remains to be done and how I
could help without duplicating any effort. Should we just wait for MT
protocol kernel support and your remaining (unreleased) code to arrive?

Cheers.

PS: Since it is drag related, I'll ask here: Is there a way to disable
tap-and-drag but keep taps enabled (to click)? I couldn't see a
synaptics option for that. If I added such an option to synaptics, would
it have any chance of getting accepted?

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.
