Another snapshot, we're pretty close to 2.3 but two things are holding it
back:

- Segfault in EvdevMBEmuBlockHandler(). There's a patch attached to this
  patch, if you are affected by this bug please test the patch.
  http://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=23048
- The calibration feature as an xorg.conf option, patch is on the list.

Other than that, we're looking good. Only a few patches got merged since the
last snapshot. Evdev allows button 0 as wheel emulation button now (for a
scrolling-only device) and we have new IngoreRelativeAxes and IgnoreAbsolute
options to limit what evdev listens to (for those cases where the funky
guesswork is wrong and picks the wrong axis type).


Dima Kogan (1):
      Allow 0 as wheel emulation button for unconditional scrolling (#20529)

Peter Hutterer (8):
      man: fix documentation for EVDEV_PROP_WHEEL_BUTTON
      Restrict wheel emulation to a single axis at a time.
      Only take the driver-internal button mapping to count buttons (#23405)
      Require xorg-macros 1.3 and XORG_DEFAULT_OPTIONS
      emuWheel: fix signed/unsigned screwup
      Remove unused has_xy.
      Add explicit options to ignore relative or absolute axes.
      evdev 2.2.99.2
