Thanks a lot Eric, with your fixes I don't have the warnings anymore :)

Here's an updated diff of the core changes. Please do not apply it; instead
tell me if it is ok for me to commit the whole OSX port, including these
changes...

Heh, before letting me ascend however, check the code once it's in CVS, and
tell me if it works on your mac (what machine btw?). I need testing!

I don't know if the HID Manager (Human Interface Device, handles from
keyboards to mice, primarly USB) allows it, but I have to dig it anyway if I
want to autodetect the number of mouse buttons, at least at program
startup...

Thanks. I expect feedback once the code is in CVS! I have an iBook G3 800
btw, and a friend of mine has ordered a PowerBook G4 1GHz that should arrive
soon, and needless to say, it'll be another testbed machine for Allegro ;)
