[PD] mouseposition, buttons

[Ben Bogart - FMPM/F1999]

you could write a little tcl script to track the mouse position and send 
it to pd via socket... 

but because of that window focus issue you would have to make your tcl 
window the size of the area you would like to track. 

should be simple.
