Re: [PATCH] mouse tracking support

- Currently the events that are recognised are: button clicks and wheel

because ncurses doesn't support wheel movement recognition.

from ncurses NEWS file:

20050205
        + add experimental configure option --enable-ext-mouse, which defines
          NCURSES_MOUSE_VERSION 2, and modifies the encoding of mouse events to
          support wheel mice, which may transmit buttons 4 and 5.  This works
          with xterm and similar X terminal emulators (prompted by question by
          Andreas Henningsson, this is also related to Debian #230990).

(though someone has requested that I extend that a little further...)
