It's very easy to support tablets (in general) in Linux using the evdev
interface.  Unfortunately just supporting evdev isn't enough, since Xorg
might lock evdev, depending on version and configuration.  So, you need
to support the X driver as well.  I haven't looked into that yet, but
it's been on my todo list for a while.  (A long while, to be honest, but
I'll do it one of these days ..).

I've no idea how to support tablets on a Mac, but I'd be surprised if
there wasn't some API available.

Anyway, I too am very interested in cross-platform tablet support,
preferably for SDL, but otherwise too.  I'd be willing to help out with
at least the Linux side of things.
