The patches in this directory are a state-of-the-art situation.
They are only needed for kernels older than 1.1.32, which already has
the new features in.

patch-1.0	for the bare 1.0 kernel (1.0.9 as well)
patch-1.1.18	it was a stable kernel, and I used it...

The main difference is in ioctl() code for the console, which moved
from tty_ioctl.c to tty_io.c between 1.0.9 and 1.1.18. The patches are
so simple that one or the other should apply cleanly to any intermidiate
release.

My patch makes the following to the lernel:
- adds a function highlight_pointer to console.c to highlight a moving cursor.
- adds a bit-wide table to configure what is inword() and what is not. 
- adds a new selection-mode (3) to track the pointer
- adds a new ioctl of the TIOCLINUX fmaily (5) to load the inword() table.
- adds another TIOCLINUX ioctl (6) to return the current shift state
