We need to support a gesture for opening the context menu.

This first-attempt patch uses the double finger tap as recommended here:

to support the context menu.

Hm. On android the pattern is to use one finger and hold for about a second. I'm currently uncertain which to support. I guess we could also support both. 

This is complicated in so far that one has to make sure it works in all combinations, especially with left-button mouseevents. E.g. what if one of the two finger is slightly faster than the second? (So you have 0-1-2-1-0). What if the two finer hit different targets? What if you move them slightly, which would be detected as a pinch-zoom by the ipad?

Updated Patch from Austin Riddle

I updated the patch from Austin Riddle to the current CVS HEAD and tried it on my iPad. Unfortunately nothing happens. No context menu appears on the table. Does this patch need more changes in other code-parts?

I would like to see this issue solved and would contribute with discussion and patches. Until this is solved, we have to write a workaround in java.
