Web Dump Mouse wheel support in Irssi

Download mouse_soliton.pl

The original version of this can actually be found on
http://wouter.coekaerts.be/irssi/. This script enables the mouse scroll
wheel to scroll the channel content as well as supporting some gesture
recognition to do stuff.

The problem with the mouse scripts is, that since they enable XTerm
mouse reporting, but Irssi does not actually support this in any way,
nor is it possible through scripts to simulate copying and pasting of
text, that it is difficult to copy like e.g. quotes or URIs out of the
Irssi terminal window.

This version is enhanced by Soliton to provide easy means to disable the
XTerm mouse reporting mode, in order to allow for easier access to
terminal copy&paste behaviour.
