[PATCH] evdev: allow mouse wheel emulation to work even with absolute-position devices (like touchscreens)

[Dima Kogan]

OK, here's the new patch. Much smaller now. There's some spaces-vs-tabs
inconsistency in emuWheel.c, and it took me a few tries to make sure
that this patch wasn't touching those. Might make sense to do another
patch to clean up the whitespace.
