More accurately, t-mouse.el uses start-process to run the `mev'
program, which in turn communicates with `gpm', and feeds any mouse
events to the Emacs event queue through the process-filter.
FWIW, I'd rather had the equivalent of `mev'/`gpm' in Emacs sources,
not unlike what the DOS port does to support the mouse, instead of
using a horrible design such as running an async subprocess that talks
to a daemon. It reminds me of the timers implementation of yore that
used an external program to deliver a signal to Emacs.
But that's me.
