is there a particular reason why this has to be a patch in mouse(2)?
could it not be implemented simply by a simple thread that receives
events from the usual mouse channel, translates to "cooked" mouse messages
and sends these down another channel, to be received by the application?

say:
	Channel *cookedmouse(Channel *);

that way none of the existing code needs to change; it seems to me
that this is the kind of thing that the channel idiom is tailor-made
for.

i'm probably missing something.
