xwarppointer.c (attached, 5k) was mentioned. i dont recall if a url was
given to point to this file, and the header on it doesnt mention a
source website. i found similar things via google, but not the same one.
xbut was also mentioned at some point (i believe the same thread) for
generating button events. the readme cites http://www.sandklef.com/xbut/
as it's home.
