view.c for 3D and drawipo.c for 2D.  The specific functions are 
viewmove() and view2dzoom().

This sounds like a very bad idea to me.  When you stop moving the mouse, 
the object would keep getting bigger, or keep moving across the screen.  
It would be very difficult to get the desired size or location right; 
there are better ways to compensate for reaching the edge of the 
screen.  Dealing with that would be very useful, though, especially 
while using the Shift key for precision.  Since Blender is able to 
center the cursor while starting up, it should be able to move the 
cursor to a corresponding location on the opposite edge of the screen, 
and add or subtract some value to the mouse location to compensate. 

Modifying the current system to handle screen crosses sounds like a much 
better project to me.
