I'm writing a user interface based on epoch in which I need to use
multiple mouse clicks for alternate functionality.

If anyone has already solved this problem, I'd like to know--in any
case I'll be coding my proposed solution today.

I invite comments on this proposal.  Counter-proposals are welcome.

Version:
	Epoch 4.2, mouse.el revision 1.12--multiple click detection
	based on code by Brian L. Kahn.


BUG:
	Epoch calls the mouse handlers on each up and down click.  It
	should only call an event handler once for a given type of
	click.  I.e. a double click should not first call the code for
	a single click. 

Proposed solution:
	Extra modifiers mouse-single-... mouse-quintuple-... will be
	added to the valid modifiers which can be passed to routines
	such as define-mouse.  Note that this allows for notions such
	as mouse-double-down and mouse-triple-up.  The default is to
	assume a single click.

	No mouse handler will be called until mouse-interval ms have
	elapsed since a mouse event has been reported by X.

	The first mouse-up after a mouse-ORDINAL-down will be treated
	as a mouse-ORDINAL-up.

E.g.

EVENTS (' ' means < mouse-interval delay)	TREATED AS
down up				  = mouse-up  [This will break some code.]

down up down (1 second delay) up  = mouse-double-down, mouse-double-up

down (1 second delay) up down up  = mouse-down, mouse-up, mouse-up
