I (as the upstream maintainer) would happily take a patch that brings
back support for old kernels. plugins/input-raw and tools/ts_uinput
should be affected as they use multitouch.

Simply properly disabling them during configure would be an acceptable
first step to have as a requirement for old kernels.

A github pull request or a patch here would be equally fine with me and
I'd be happy to have it in version 1.4.
