Feature request pen tablet input support.

It would probably be good to have support for pen tablet input. It would be very useful in editors and stuff like that.

Unfortunately it only works on Windows, and only for Wacom brand. I always turn myself back to Windows because my tablet doesn't work on other platform and it's not wacom brand. Sad.

I think there are also Wacom drivers for Linux, but I don't know how good they work. I also regularly consider getting a pen tablet - probably an Aiptek as those are a lot cheaper and still not too bad, although not comparable to Wacoms. When I ever get one I might start thinking about adding support to Irrlicht.

I have a Wacom Bamboo pen. It's great, and it works in Blender's sculpt and paint modes really well. I installed drivers for it on Ubuntu, but it doesn't work.
