Actually, I wrote mousehack.  Jon Howell wrote mousemode, which works with
"generic" extended mice.  Newer Turbo Mouse trackballs need a little proprietary
nonsense (read "magic") sent to ADB register 2.  That's where my program
comes in.  It uses the ADB semantics of the 2.1.24 kernel, but could easily
be adapted to the newer kernels.  Anyways, here's the source...
