Right. Just done it and had no problems recompiling :)

Attached is a quick diff I made of the changes to the core lib.
As I was there, I've also included a report of the compiler warning I have
(using gcc 3.1 shipped with latest Apple developer tools)

About the mouse buttons issue: it is not immediate but I can detect the
number of mouse buttons of the attached mouse. Then I could allow the
combination APPLE+button to emulate the right click, and COMMAND+button for
the middle click. This is also how SDL deals with it, even though SDL
doesn't really detect the number of buttons, as it relies on an env
variable.

Of course, once the final behaviour is actually implemented... The docs will
need to be updated to deal with the whole OSX port.

Humm, I'd prefer not to add another config variable if possible. Better to
detect if >1 buttons are available, otherwise activate emulation
automatically.
