PS/2 mouse driver for MGR on VSTa

Some of you have found that the "mouse -type ps2aux" would find your mouse
device, but mouse motion would be totally erratic. I finally found a laptop
that showed this behavior, and have added a "mouse -type ps2aux -bus"
option, which decodes the incoming data stream correctly. The encoding
looks quite a bit like a standard bus mouse (thus the -bus switch), but the
device tests, buffers, and interrupts like a PS/2 type of mouse, thus I
added it as a switch there.

I've done some test installs of 1.6 here, and found a couple platform
dependencies (somehow, depending on the BIOS, EFLAGS may or may not have the
"nested task" flag, for instance), which I've cleaned up. I was hoping to
do the final test and build on my PPro system, but since Aberdeen hasn't
managed to return it, I may have to go ahead and do it off my Pentium
system. I'll see what I can do tomorrow.

                                                        Enjoy!
