Summary: SDL: mouse emulation

Initial Comment:
problem:
--------
2 small code blocks were removed from backends/platform/sdl/events.cpp in rev 16120 
and disable the mouse emulation mode.(2004-12-18)

The readme and site documentation however still claim the keyboard arrow keys simulate mouse movements.
 
suggestions:
------------
There might be cases or games where this is not prefereable by default but allowing it to be enabled at runtime  by configuration or key-combination would be helpfull.
 
If that's a problem, a compile time option (--enable-mouse-emulation) would be sufficient

If neither is acceptable please update the distributed
readme and site documentation.

note that simply restoring the 2 small original code pieces still works :-)

if noone wants to spend some time on this but is willing to state what would be a non intrusive or acceptable way to support this feature, I 'm willing to provide an tested patch.


thanks
