wine users - Apr 2011 - python for game menus needing mouse but with mwo=force

#
#
# WHY DID WRITE SCRIPT ? : GAMES !
# WINETRICKS MWO=FORCE but want to use GAME MENUS with MOUSE
# example SWAT4 , need to use menu in game to start shooting baddies !! but need
MWO=FORCE in game ??
#
# PLATFORM : linux
# REQUIRES : python python-xlib xdotool 
# AUTHOR : terry.cadd at gmail.com
# DATE : Thu Apr  7 22:28:38 BST 2011
# VERSION : 1 
#
# USAGE : 
# start this script then play the game
# numpad moves mouse , 4 left , 6 right , 8 up , 2 down , 5 clicks mouse
# numpad enter exits script
# 
# values for key_up , key_left , key_down , key_right were found from 
# xev utility . (the keycode value.)
#
# BEHAVIOUR : 
# mouse cursor will flicker because there are now two things controlling the
mouse
# this script and usual x windows mouse
#
# FEEDBACK : welcome ! 
# 
# AIMS : wonder if this get put into winetricks package ?!?
