Well, is this really true? If I stop reading the mickeys for a
whole second, when I read them again will they hold all the position
differential since I last read them, say, under DOS? AFAIK the value
of the mickeys could change even inside Allegro's mouse routines,
reason why many cache the volatile global variable into a local one.
Or is now DOS also required to poll_mouse()?
