By accident I stumbled on FreeBSD's devd(8) that does just this, they
even had an example of disabling a synaptics touchpad when a usb mouse
is plugged in.  Now all we need is this facility in NetBSD....

I don't think the wsmouse approaches would work reliably because the
identity of the device is hidden by wsmouse.
