Ho I am affraid this is definitely not "ready enough" to be included
anywhere right now !! :-) that was just a hack to study the
possibilities/problems to get a GUI for touchpad/mouse interactive
config, I think this is currently for gpm developpers only.

This is right, the more generic way to perform dynamic interface with
the driver is to include it directly at the level of the main loop in
gpm.c One solution could be to add one more function field into
Gpm_Type, like "C_<mousename>()", which woudl in turn call the
driver-level config function. Anyways, this solution will still require
to include changes in synaptics.c in order to perform the actual
tunning of the parameters at the driver level. This also involves
major changes in the main sources, I may give it a try but i have been
quite busy lately and I wont be able to take care of it right now.
