We should change this call - either by somehow removing the dependency
on calling _set_mouse_range() (for instance, we could call this function
whenever the user calls show_mouse() ), or by using the trick with a
constructor function in mouse.c setting a function pointer in
graphics.c; the constructor is only executed if mouse.o is linked in, so
the function pointer is zero if mouse.o is not linked or non-zero if it
is. I believe the MIDI functions work this way.

Yes, exactly.

Bye for now,
