[PD] quick fingerpinger port

[William Brent]

The first number should be the index for each touch as it appears in
sequence, and resets to 0 when there are no touches active.  The
finger identifier index is persistent.  There are up to 11 persistent
markers (maybe they're assuming 2 hands and a nose?)  Hans'
[multitouch] object from the apple lib in Pd-extended also uses the
MultitouchSupport framework, though as far as I know it doesn't allow
for multiple devices, so that would be really nice to have.

PS: here's a patch using [multitouch] that shows how to use the finger
identifier value to create persistent tokens in GEM.  The only trouble
is that 11 markers is pretty crowded on a trackpad, so it's still easy
to swap identifiers.
