Haven't got any feedback on this so far so I'm continuing on my own for
now. You can track my work here:

http://www.precentral.net/homebrew-apps/scummvm

On this page you'll also find a SVN link where you can find the whole
build system for the WebOS package including the modifications I did so
far in form of patches. Here is a short description what these patches
are doing:

* default_theme.patch: Simply changes the name of the default theme.
Could get obsolete when ScummVM allows setting this name with a
configure parameter.

* fix-configure.patch: Adds some missing enable/disable configure
options in the configure script.

* fix-plugin-install.patch: Fixes plugin installation when using
separate build directory. This is already fixed in ScummVM trunk.

* vkeybd.patch: A virtual keyboard fix which is already fixed in ScummVM
trunk.

* keymapping.patch. This is quite large and implements the following
features:
  + It adds a KEYCODE_FORWARD to the keymapper allowing mapping of the
forward gesture in WebOS which I'm using as the menu key in the WebOS
package.
  + Detecting a two-finger-tap (By counting the mouse down/up events) to
simulate a press on F7 to open the virtual keyboard. A cleaner approach
I think would be simulating a keymapper action, so it would be possible
to map a two-finger-tap to whatever action the user like. But I don't
know how to do this.
  + Detecting a tap in the gesture area to simulate the "Alt" key.
Default mapping of SDL in WebOS is using the Orange-key for Alt but this
is bad because the Orange-Key is needed for entering numbers. So I
changed this mapping so the original Alt-Key is not used (Which frees
the Orange-key) and now the "meta-tap" gesture is used for that.
  + Simulating right-mouse-button-clicks by holding down meta-tap while
tapping the screen.
