Wayland on Android snapshot release: input

It is time to announce the android-4.0.1_r1.2-b snapshot release of the Wayland on Android project at Collabora! We give you: input support in Weston and a finger-painting demo!

Collabora will have people at GUADEC demoing this on real devices, though not me personally.

Forwarding evdev devices to Android

I'm working on adding input support for Weston's Android backend, and to test a normal keyboard and a mouse, I needed a way to get those as evdev devices on Android. I don't have any Bluetooth devices here, so I started hacking up evdev forwarding from a laptop PC. I could not find much information on anyone doing this before.
