Compatibility is indeed a tough part of this issue; here's the breakdown I came
up with I implemented input events last summer:

The only thing it would be nice to add to the scheme in that post, is a way to
allow non-Morphic code can access events either in a new VM or an old
one.   I think all you'd have to do, though, is add one instance
variable to Sensor which is the last event generated, and have
InputSensor>>nextEvent generate events from polling if the relevant
primitive is not available.
