It seemed to work fine with the 1.5.3 server I tested on - you'll just have
two copies of the ${OS}_mouse.c code present, one in the server, one in the
module.   It was moved to the module because the server never calls it
directly - only the mouse module does, and if you're using another driver,
like evdev or void, then the code is never called at all.
