RFE: make non-x11 emacs mouse-aware

[Ryan Johnson <ryan dot johnson at cs dot utoronto dot ca>]

Hi all, esp. emacs maintainer(s),

I'd like to request that the non-x11 emacs be made mouse aware. Right 
now, terminal mouse mode is broken in normal emacs because the emacs 
core doesn't recognize the resulting mouse events. You can use emacs-x11 
in terminal mode as a heavyweight workaround, but it turns out that 
mouse awareness is controlled by the src/config.h file created by 
./configure:
> /* Define if you have mouse support. */
> /* #undef HAVE_MOUSE */

There doesn't seem to be an explicit configure switch for it (it's 
enabled indirectly by --with-x11 or --with-ns), but editing directly 
produced the desired results on a headless linux machine, with no 
undesirable side effects so far. I see no reason it shouldn't also work 
under cygwin.

Thoughts?
Ryan
