The `moused' daemon is made to support various serial mouse

protocols to recognized extra buttons and wheel/roller. It now has
PnP COM device support code, thus, some recent mouse products are
automatically detected and an appropriate protocol is selected.
The `-i' option will print the result of auto-detection.

- Added support for the following SERIAL mice:
      ALPS GlidePoint, MS IntelliMouse, Kensington Thinking Mouse
  (Genius NetMouse, NetMouse Pro, ASCII MieMouse, Logitech MouseMan+,
  FirstMouse+ are compatible with MS IntelliMouse, when connected
  to a serial port, thus requires no explicit support)
- Added PnP serial mouse identification capability as defined
  by Microsoft and Hayes in "Plug and Play External COM Device
  Specification, rev 1.00".  This support will enable us to identify
  the correct protocol to use, or choose a compatible protocol for the
  given mouse.
- Utilize new ioctls defined in `mouse.h' to get hardware and protocol
  information on PS/2 and bus mouse devices.  Try to guess the correct
  protocol and port combination based on the obtained info.
- Use MOUSE_SETLEVEL ioctl.
- Use constants defined in `mouse.h' rather than using own definitions.
- A New command line option.  The -i option prints the information
  collected though the PnP code and psm/mse ioctls mentioned above,
  and just quits.  This is to test `moused's ability, or inability, to
  detect the correct protocol for the given mouse automatically.
- A new command line option.  The -m option maps a physical button
  to a logical button.
- A new command line option.  The -z option maps the Z axis movement to
  another axis or a pair of buttons.
- Add other options: -3, -C -F -P.
- Added a handler for SIGHUP.  This has been suggested by somebody in the
  past (I don't remember who).  He wanted this because he wants to attach
  or detach a mouse while his laptop is suspended.  Now `moused' will
  reopens and reinitialize the specified port whenever a SIGHUP is
  received.  I don't know how useful this can be...
