Let's not reinvent the wheel (no pun intended)!

Wheel acceleration is pretty much the use case I had in mind when I made
acceleration contexts available to drivers. Consider that wheel
'presses' are much less precise than mouse motion - you're doomed to run
into precision issues.

The first five functions in ptrveloc.h should suffice to track wheel
motion and respond in a much nicer manner than a cooked-up solution is
likely to. I'm happy to provide assistance if the useage isn't obvious.

Cheers,

Simon
