Thank you very much for viewing and testing this code, Seth.

I just got confirmed that with v3, two finger touch always gets reported
separately. I will resend this series for this update.
Add what you observed is actually hardware limitation. The v3 hardware
only has a projective sensor. When two fingers are overlapping along x or
y axis, the hardware can only sense one on that axis, once the two
fingers are away from the "crossing zone", they get reported separately again.
