For the WebOS port I implemented it like described in the README of the
Android port. So I use a long tap for right button, a even-longer tap
for middle button and the double-tap-dragging. WebOS doesn't have any
fancy special events for this so I implemented this by just looking for
the standard down/move/up events.

So if you are talking about a standardized multi-touch-screen
implementation in ScummVM then WebOS would definitely profit from it.
