     * Harmonise mouse drag and release messages.
     * 
     * Some front ends might accidentally switch from sending, say,
     * RIGHT_DRAG messages to sending LEFT_DRAG, half way through a
     * drag. (This can happen on the Mac, for example, since
     * RIGHT_DRAG is usually done using Command+drag, and if the
     * user accidentally releases Command half way through the drag
     * then there will be trouble.)
     * 
     * It would be an O(number of front ends) annoyance to fix this
     * in the front ends, but an O(number of back ends) annoyance
     * to have each game capable of dealing with it. Therefore, we
     * fix it _here_ in the common midend code so that it only has
     * to be done once.
     * 
     * The possible ways in which things can go screwy in the front
     * end are:
     * 
     *  - in a system containing multiple physical buttons button
     *    presses can inadvertently overlap. We can see ABab (caps
     *    meaning button-down and lowercase meaning button-up) when
     *    the user had semantically intended AaBb.
     * 
     *  - in a system where one button is simulated by means of a
     *    modifier key and another button, buttons can mutate
     *    between press and release (possibly during drag). So we
     *    can see Ab instead of Aa.
     * 
     * Definite requirements are:
     * 
     *  - button _presses_ must never be invented or destroyed. If
     *    the user presses two buttons in succession, the button
     *    presses must be transferred to the backend unchanged. So
     *    if we see AaBb , that's fine; if we see ABab (the button
     *    presses inadvertently overlapped) we must somehow
     *    `correct' it to AaBb.
     * 
     *  - every mouse action must end up looking like a press, zero
     *    or more drags, then a release. This allows back ends to
     *    make the _assumption_ that incoming mouse data will be
     *    sane in this regard, and not worry about the details.
     * 
     * So my policy will be:
     * 
     *  - treat any button-up as a button-up for the currently
     *    pressed button, or ignore it if there is no currently
     *    pressed button.
     * 
     *  - treat any drag as a drag for the currently pressed
     *    button, or ignore it if there is no currently pressed
     *    button.
     * 
     *  - if we see a button-down while another button is currently
     *    pressed, invent a button-up for the first one and then
     *    pass the button-down through as before.
