Bellows mouse events don't work on Chrome in Windows 8 (touch enabled)

[armitage]

The current code doesn't assign mouse events if a touch enabled environment is detected. It seems only touch only devices were taken into consideration. On touch and mouse enabled devices for example a laptop with touchscreen running windows 8 this totally breaks the user experience.

@armitage thanks for the feedback! Admittedly, we haven't done too much work testing on Windows 8... Thanks for pointing this out, hopefully we can address it ASAP!

@jansepar thanks for your reply and your MSPointer patch, but since this issue is not only relevant to IE10 (which supports MSPointer) but also concerns Chrome on Win8 touch it won't help Chrome users.

One possible way to fix this would be to use the Hand.js polyfill http://handjs.codeplex.com/ which supports the upcoming Pointer events on all browsers.

@armitage ah, good point... I will have to look into that polyfill for sure but I probably won't be able to in the next few days. Pull requests are welcome :)

Closed in favour of testing this on 2.0 (#19)
