I just saw that the kernel mouse now sends events for mouse wheels.
I found nothing in the source/manual about how to use the wheel
to send up/down runes.

I tried with a small change to mousethread() in rio.c

	if (mouse->buttons == 8)
		send(keyboardctl->c, &rkup);
	else if (mouse->buttons == 16)
		send(keyboardctl->c, &rkdown);

and found that the wheel in acme and other rio windows is *very*
convenient.

Any plans to make a similar change official?  Perhaps along with a
change to xfid.c to intercept new "wheel 8 16" or similar writes to
mousectl (to configure which buttons should send up/down events) ?

thanks
