I dunno, I guess I feel it would be too much functionality to have pcvt
interpret mouse movement info.  But someone else tells me that most of
the functionality is in userland for the Linux stuff.

Hmm, this doesn't sound too hard .... write a program to open the mouse device.
Give pcvt a couple of ioctls that let you set a start cursor and an end cursor
for a cut region, and two to get some text and send some text.
