TurboMouse fix

I've updated Mark Abene's "mousehack" fix for the Kensington Turbo Mouse
to work with newer kernels.  The source code is below.

It should compile straight away-- "cc mousehack.c".  Then run the program,
abd your TurboMouse should work as a 3-button mouse.  If it works for you,
put it somewhere convenient (like /sbin) and call it from /etc/rc.d/rc.local.

This has only been tested on a G3 desktop, running 2.1.125, with a
version 5.0 TurboMouse.  I'd appreciate feedback on how it works
(or fails to work) with other setups.

See notes in the comments about tracking speed and button arrangement.

 *
 * A program for linux-pmac by jonh Tue Feb 18 00:46:10 EST 1997
 * hacked mercilessly by warner at lothar.com: don't blame jonh for my bugs!
 *
 * Now does magic for the Kensington turbo mouse trackball (phiber at phiber.com)

 *
 * Minor update to make it work with 2.1.125 (tph at rmi.net) 12/21/1998
 * - If tracking is too fast, use "xset" to fix it.
 * - If button arrangement seems weird, use "xmodmap".  The default is:
 *	lower left = 1, lower right = 2, upper left = 3, upper left = off.
 *	xmodmap -e "pointer = 1 3 2" works for me.
