[listas] [Bf-committers] patch 3688 - support for 3d mouse devices

[Stealth Apprentice]

I am using XP, and compiling with VS2005 Express
edition. However, I used no gcc-incompatible types or
language extensions. If you have the 3dxware SDK you
should have no trouble compiling. (The 3dxware SDK is
also gcc compatible)
