The last time i checked (a year or so ago (or was it three...)), itdidn't have mousewheel support (on win, linux version seemed to havemousebuttons 4 and 5) and there wasn't a real Windows installer. Theevent API is a bit of a pain as well, with all the events going toseparately set callbacks, instead of a single event pipe. Anyhow, it'sbeen a while since I last used it, so take this with a grain of salt -maybe things are better nowadays. Apart from that, it's a pretty good and easy to use system. -Ilmari
