Mr Rainer Keller asked me: "If I use the same mouse and the same  
image file on a PC and on a Mac then the middle and the right mouse  
button are swapped. So if I am using the same image at work ... and  
at home ... I always have to go to preferences and change the "toggle  
mouse button" preference even if I am using the same mouse on both  
machines"

Fine, ask teenager for his scroll mouse, mutter about how I've  
ignored this issue. A bit of coding...

3.8.12beta6U about to ship, people who are really desperate can email  
me (not the list) for a copy to test with before I distribute widely.

info.plist entries

	<key>SqueakUse2ButtonOrWindowsScrollMouse</key>
	<false/>
	<key>SqueakUse3ButtonColoredMouse</key>
	<false/>

SqueakUse2ButtonOrWindowsScrollMouse  - Set to true if you have one  
of funky 3 button windows mice with two buttons and clickable scroll  
wheel nub.
SqueakUse3ButtonColoredMouse - Set to true if you have a traditional  
3 button colored smalltalk mouse, or white hair in your beard.

if both settings are false then you'll get  I hope same behaviour as  
historical mac VM using the one button mouse/trackpad or any flavor  
of multi-button mouse.
