I'm already doing something of the sort in the parent on WM_MOUSEMOVE,
WM_SETCURSOR, and WM_KILLFOCUS.  But none of these help when the user
moves the mouse outside of the parent window fast enough that no messages
get generated in the parent area outside of the child window.

Now, I could use a timer to poll periodically, but this seems like a
terribly inelegant solution.  I was hoping that there would be something
a little nicer to solve the problem (but I'm rapidly losing hope...)
