[gpm] really excited about gpm, looking for examples

[Nico Schottelius]

Hey Patrick,

a very warm welcome to the world of bitmasks and mouse drivers.

In the last years there has not been much activity around gpm (probably
because people don't even know what consoles are anymore...), but I hope
you enjoy it nonetheless.

Cheers,

Nico

p.s.: You can use gpm-root as a starting point.
