Two-fingered scrolling works now, but most of the other stuff does not.

AP V2 on Mac is currently a Carbon app (I suspect it will become a Cocoa app for V3). Even so, the development platform I use does not (currently) support gestures*. It might require a complete rewrite in Objective-C, which isn't going to happen**. If I ever get around to an iPad version, it will support gestures.

* there's a fair chance it might in the future.
** famous last words. If that does happen, I would have to dump the Windows version...
