[UI] Mouse wheel

[Gary Chambers]

Load Pinesoft-Widgets-gvc.284 from SqueakSource and enjoy!
Was tricky to figure out but done nicely, I think.
If the VMs get arround to generating mouse wheel events natively (rrather
than simulating with a keystroke) it is a small matter to support that
when/if that happens.

Will await feedback before updating the Universe.

Regards, Gary.
