Ok, I'll give you this.

I just tried exu 2.3 (old version, back when the binary still linked to and used
ncurses and gpm)
and it segfaults when I call get_mouse().

In fact mev (gpm's included test utlitiy to prove that GPM works) doesn't work
either. I can't get gpm working period.

Maybe somebody should fix gpm first, before we talk about integrating it back
into Euphoria.
