You can do that on OS X, actually, at least as far as I understood the API.
The OS will tell you that it received, for instance, a "zoom" gesture, but you can also track the gesture yourself as it is made.
I don't think we want to go that way though, because I suspect that that interface will be very platform-specific.

Don't know. That's not on issue on OS X as far as I'm aware.
More to the point, I'm not sure what it has to do with the ability to detect gestures in Allegro?
