Adding a GWT Touch handler will break event handling of MGWT widgets.

[GoogleCodeExporter]

What steps will reproduce the problem?
1. Building UI using MGWT
2. Adding a GWT widget to UI. 
3  Adding a TouchStartHandler (the standard GWT one) to it.
What is the expected output? 
All widgets work normally. 
What do you see instead?
Touch events are not working for MGWT widgets. 

What version of the product are you using? On what operating system?
gwt2.5 rc1,mgwt 1.1.1  IPad3, Android 4.1.

Please provide any additional information below.
I think it is because those 4 touch events (DOM events) defined in GWT are 
duplicated in MGWT. Maybe now MGWT can switch to GWT standard Touch-Events.

I changed some classes (TouchEvent,TouchWidgetMobileImpl and 4 TouchEvent 
classes,see attached files) . now the TouchWidgetMobileImpl will convert GWT 
touch events(DOM events) to MGWT touch events(changed to None-DOM events) . 
Probably there is a more elegant way to achieve the goal. But looks like this 
solution works fine so far, I will go with it since I have a production release 
tmr.

since we now have real touch events in GWT (which we did not have when mgwt 
started) we could think about cutting back on our touch events with the next 
mgwt release and actual introduce some breaking changes here. 

The other reason we are not using GWT touch events is that we need TouchEvents 
that can be used in unit tests. There might be an easy way of solving this 
though.

In order to solve Issue 217 we should rework the event system and make it 
compatible with GWT. mgwt should not be a roadblock here in any sense. Setting 
to 1.2
