Multi-touch API

[Pavel Safrata]

Hello Tom,
I think I didn't really get the issue. You can install mouse dragging 
event handlers on the map and on the marker. Why is that not sufficient? 
Or do you want that specifically for our ScrollPane? There is a 
"pannable" property that makes the scrollpane react on mouse dragging. 
If you register a dragging handler that consumes the event on any of its 
children, it is not propagated to the pane, so it doesn't scroll. Is 
that insufficient?
Thanks,
Pavel
