OK thanks a lot. It's OK to commit: I am not working on pcterm.c.

My only thought is that the value of the "mouse" variable will be
misleading, because the mouse events will be being captured by a
different method to that under xterm. Perhaps we could have an extra
value for this variable which it would default to under MS-Windows. I
don't care much about this though, so don't worry if it would be too
much effort.
