The ADBTEST kernels should have the 3-button mouse support. The extdms (sp?)
routines are in there. However, I don't have a Trackman mouse and my
Mouseman seems to be the pre-Apple-Extended-Mouse-Protocol type. It seems
that my Mouseman emulates the extra two buttons (in MacOS, that is) by
pretending that they make up a second "keyboard". We may need a different
type of support to map this "keyboard" to mouse buttons.
