On most linux-based systems, the right and middle buttons are used
extensively. On computers lacking either of those buttons, such as
the Apple Macbooks, emulation is needed. This patch adds emulation
of the missing buttons via two-fingers-and-click and three-fingers-
and-click operations, which has recently become standard, both in
MacOS and in the Xorg synaptics driver.

The standard way of emulating right and middle button presses for
"button-deficient" devices is to use Macintosh emulation
(MAC_EMUMOUSEBTN) that works not only for touchpads but for regular mice
as well.

Overall I don't think we should enhance mousedev for scenarios where
proper solution is to install Synaptics X driver. This also goes for
your other patch improving tapping in mousedev.
