wacdump is specific for Wacom device and it is an UI, i.e., you see
all data on the same screen. So, it's a bit more end user and Wacom
user friendly.  evtest is a general input device and more developer
oriented tool.  But, if we consider the effort of maintaining tools
which don't add too much information to the output, I would say we
should just update the relevant webpages to direct users to "evtest"
and "xinput" in the future.

I prefer to obsolete wacdump and xidump development for the next
generation of linuxwacom.

What do you guys think?
