RFE: mintty + trackpoint?

Hi all (esp. Andy),

A recent email on the cygwin/x mailing list pointed out that Lenovo 
trackpoint scrolling had stopped working in xterm [1]. I didn't know it 
was there in the first place, but I can just imagine how useful it would 
be. Any chance of mintty picking up that functionality? Combining 
mintty's existing handling of mouse scrolling with the trackpoint would 
be really slick, but I don't know how hard it would be. It's also 
unclear whether the X11 faq entry about trackpoint is out of date [2], 
since I've never followed those directions and yet xterm scrolls fine 
for me.

Thoughts?
