Someone here at CMU has hacked up a version of shelltool which detects
mouse events and posts the appropriate key-down events to the shell
window.  (This is called an Interposer in Sun terminology.)  It talks
to Gosling's Emacs, but should be easily portable to other Emacses.
I'll see if the author's interested in posting diffs to the net.

[Currently you need sources to the shelltool (shelltool.c) - a 
standalone program which wouldn't need Sun sources is another possibility.]
