Looks interesting - much easier to wire up than other devices. I'd be really interested to see how you get on. I just found an eagle part for the Nokia 5110 display (without break out), and it would be great if we could make a board that did capacitive touch through the LCD itself. Not sure if that's actually possible though.
I think it's possible to do cap touch with Espruino itself, but it requires some different setup of the hardware timers which means it's a peek/poke job at the moment :(
Espruino is a JavaScript interpreter for low-power Microcontrollers. This site is both a support community for Espruino and a place to share what you are working on.

This module has recently been added too: http://www.espruino.com/CAP1188
CAP1188 looks like an 8 channel sensor, so while it's a pain to wire up it could be quite useful.
