Hello,

I just opened a pull request on Github for the WebOS backend.

For those who do not know WebOS, let me shortly introduce it: WebOS is a
linux-based operating system used on HP/Palm smartphones like the Pre.
WebOS phones have a multi-touch-capable touchscreen, a gesture area and
a physical keyboard.

WebOS uses SDL and porting Linux games to WebOS is therefore pretty
easy. So the main purpose of the WebOS backend is providing a usable
touchscreen input method. For now I only implemented a touchpad mode
which is similiar to the touchpad mode of the Android backend
(Tap+Movement=Mouse movement, Tap without movement=Left mouse button
click, Tap > 500ms = Right mouse button, Tap > 1000 ms = Middle mouse
button, Double tap plus movement = Drag & Drop). The backend also adds
the forward gesture as a mappable hardware key. Per default this gesture
is mapped to open the ScummVM menu but this can be changed in the key
mapper.
