Added GUI for relative mouse moves option on win32.

Configured default mac to build for X windows instead of the incomplete
carbon implementation.

lib/net/CTCPSocket.cpp
Fixed bug in TCP socket that caused a busy loop in the socket
multiplexer. That caused a lock up on windows when quitting
the server with a client connected.

lib/platform/CMSWindowsScreen.cpp
lib/platform/CMSWindowsScreen.h
Used MouseKeys accessibility function to show the mouse cursor
on a secondary screen when there's no physical mouse attached to
the system. Kinda flaky when a mouse is attached or detached but
seems to work well enough when the device is not attached to start
with and not attached while running synergy.

lib/synergy/ProtocolTypes.h
Added support for a global relative mouse motion option. When true
and on a secondary screen and locked to the screen (via scroll lock)
mouse motion is sent as motion deltas. When true and scroll lock
is toggled off the mouse is warped to the secondary screen's center
so the server knows where it is. This option is intended to support
games and other programs that repeatedly warp the mouse to the center
of the screen. This change adds general and X11 support but not
win32. The option name is "relativeMouseMoves".

Removed use of mbrtowc, wcrtomb, and mbsinit. Many platforms
didn't support them and the emulated versions were just as good
except for a performance problem with excessive locking and
unlocking of a mutex. So this also changes IArchString to
provide string rather than character conversion so we can lock
the mutex once per string rather than once per character.

Updates to support OS X. This improves support for building on
multiple systems with automake, with X Windows and Carbon window
system APIs supported. It's also a starting port for supporting
win32 builds using mingw. OS X support is incomplete; the tree
will compile and link but the binaries will not function.

lib/server/CServer.cpp
Fixed bug in handling rejection of screen with name that's already
in use. The client was being correctly rejected but the already
connected client was being forcefully disconnected too because the
client to disconnect was found by looking up the client by name.
We now instead look up the client by IClient*.

Added workaround for win32 low-level mouse hook position weirdness.
The low-level hook can report mouse positions outside the boundaries
of the screen and bogus retrograde motion. This messes up switch on
double tap. This change attempts to detect and suppress the bogus
events.

X display. Typically the reason is running synergy as root when
logged in as non-root. Just run synergy as the same user that's
logged in.
17. The cursor goes to secondary screen but won't come back. Why?
Your configuration is incorrect. You must indicate the neighbors
of every screen. Just because you've configured 'Apple' to be to
the left of 'Orange' does not mean that 'Orange' is to the right
of 'Apple'. You must provide both in the configuration.
18. The cursor wraps from one edge of the screen to the opposite. Why?
Because you told it to. If you list 'Orange' to be to the left of
'Orange' then moving the mouse off the left edge of 'Orange' will
make it jump to the right edge. Remove the offending line from the
configuration if you don't want that behavior.

saver won't start if there is input, even if that input
is directed toward a client screen.
relativeMouseMoves = {true|false}
If set to true then secondary screens move the mouse
using relative rather than absolute mouse moves when
and only when Scroll Lock is toggled on (i.e. the cursor
is locked to the screen). This is intended to make
synergy work better with certain games. If set to
false or not set then all mouse moves are absolute.
You can use both the switchDelay and switchDoubleTap options at
the same time. Synergy will switch when either requirement is
satisfied.

@ -26,13 +26,12 @@ Things to do to synergy, in no particular order:
* Add more clipboard formats
Synergy currently supports only text on the clipboard. It should
support more formats, such as images and sound. For each format,
some canonical type must be chosen. For text, that's UTF-8 with
\n for newlines. For images, it might be BMP or PNG. Whatever it
is it should losslessly support any type it might be converted to.
The type is converted to each platform's native type. For example,
BMP for images on win32.
