Just load it as a normal  .mcz but don't do "InputEventSensor install" -
at least not if you expect to keep using the image. It might be amusing
to run it in a simulator but I haven't done so yet.

It's intended to only deliver events, no old state stuff at all and
lots of code in morphics/mvc appears to use that old stuff. I'm
assuming Tweak is pure and clean and wonderful and doesn't do that.

This 'release' is intended purely as an extended suggestion piece. It's
as simple I can make it today - I'm hoping somebody else can look at at
it and offer opinions on whether it is simple enough, or missing
something crucial for Tweak etc.

We also need to decide on some of the issues in my original mail since
they affect the design of both this and probably VM code. Certainly
there may need to be a subclass with an inputSemaphore mechanism if
anyone wants to actually make use of asynchronous event notification
from the VM.
