Provide a useful debugging tool for the linux's input event system

'evtest' is a simple, nice and helpful tool to get information about
events related to the kernel's input system. Especially to debug bogus
touchscreen drivers it is very handy.

+	  'evtest-capture' captures the information and events from the input
+	   device specified on the command line and writes it to a xml file.
+	   Together with with evtest-create-device.xsl, a simple uinput-based
+	   software input device can be created that replays the events as if
+	   the same input was performed on the physical device. This can be
+	   useful to replicate bugs with input devices in upper layers of the
+	   stack.Install the 'evtest-capture' tool (Note: requires libXML2).
