As are hardware donations ;)

There is already some simple gesture code (mythgesture.cpp) in mythtv, 
but obviously it never turned into anything really usable... or so I 
gather based on this thread. Shame on whoever wrote that and just 
abandoned it ;)

Ideally if it could get to the point where we could bind gestures to 
actions (better still, configurable with mythcontrols), you would be set.
