FWIW, gpm and sysmouse also support passing mouse events to
applications.  If somebody wants to work on this, I have some
comments from experience gained by adding sysmouse support to aumix
and w3m.  (Not having an OpenBSD/i386 machine hopefully excuses me
somewhat from contributing code.)

On a related note, since there seems to be a slow move to wscons
on at least some architectures: Does wscons have hooks for console
mouse support?
