     * `desc' and `privdesc' deserve a comment.

     * `desc' is the game description as presented to the user when
     * they ask for Game -> Specific. `privdesc', if non-NULL, is a
     * different game description used to reconstruct the initial
     * game_state when de-serialising. If privdesc is NULL, `desc'
     * is used for both.
     * 
     * For almost all games, `privdesc' is NULL and never used. The
     * exception (as usual) is Mines: the initial game state has no
     * squares open at all, but after the first click `desc' is
     * rewritten to describe a game state with an initial click and
     * thus a bunch of squares open. If we used that desc to
     * serialise and deserialise, then the initial game state after
     * deserialisation would look unlike the initial game state
     * beforehand, and worse still execute_move() might fail on the
     * attempted first click. So `privdesc' is also used in this
     * case, to provide a game description describing the same
     * fixed mine layout _but_ no initial click. (These game IDs
     * may also be typed directly into Mines if you like.)

     * Some front ends might accidentally switch from sending, say,
     * RIGHT_DRAG messages to sending LEFT_DRAG, half way through a
     * drag. (This can happen on the Mac, for example, since
     * RIGHT_DRAG is usually done using Command+drag, and if the
     * user accidentally releases Command half way through the drag
     * then there will be trouble.)
     * 
     * It would be an O(number of front ends) annoyance to fix this
     * in the front ends, but an O(number of back ends) annoyance
     * to have each game capable of dealing with it. Therefore, we
     * fix it _here_ in the common midend code so that it only has
     * to be done once.
     * 
     * The possible ways in which things can go screwy in the front
     * end are:
     * 
     *  - in a system containing multiple physical buttons button
     *    presses can inadvertently overlap. We can see ABab (caps
     *    meaning button-down and lowercase meaning button-up) when
     *    the user had semantically intended AaBb.
     * 
     *  - in a system where one button is simulated by means of a
     *    modifier key and another button, buttons can mutate
     *    between press and release (possibly during drag). So we
     *    can see Ab instead of Aa.
     * 
     * Definite requirements are:
     * 
     *  - button _presses_ must never be invented or destroyed. If
     *    the user presses two buttons in succession, the button
     *    presses must be transferred to the backend unchanged. So
     *    if we see AaBb , that's fine; if we see ABab (the button
     *    presses inadvertently overlapped) we must somehow
     *    `correct' it to AaBb.
     * 
     *  - every mouse action must end up looking like a press, zero
     *    or more drags, then a release. This allows back ends to
     *    make the _assumption_ that incoming mouse data will be
     *    sane in this regard, and not worry about the details.
     * 
     * So my policy will be:
     * 
     *  - treat any button-up as a button-up for the currently
     *    pressed button, or ignore it if there is no currently
     *    pressed button.
     * 
     *  - treat any drag as a drag for the currently pressed
     *    button, or ignore it if there is no currently pressed
     *    button.
     * 
     *  - if we see a button-down while another button is currently
     *    pressed, invent a button-up for the first one and then
     *    pass the button-down through as before.
     * 
     * 2005-05-31: An addendum to the above. Some games might want
     * a `priority order' among buttons, such that if one button is
     * pressed while another is down then a fixed one of the
     * buttons takes priority no matter what order they're pressed
     * in. Mines, in particular, wants to treat a left+right click
     * like a left click for the benefit of users of other
     * implementations. So the last of the above points is modified
     * in the presence of an (optional) button priority order.
     *
     * A further addition: we translate certain keyboard presses to
     * cursor key 'select' buttons, so that a) frontends don't have
     * to translate these themselves (like they do for CURSOR_UP etc),
     * and b) individual games don't have to hard-code button presses
     * of '\n' etc for keyboard-based cursors. The choice of buttons
     * here could eventually be controlled by a runtime configuration
     * option.

         * paste each other random seeds - whether it's two users
         * arranging to generate the same game at the same time to
         * race solving them, or a user sending a bug report upstream
         * - the whole point is for the random game id to always be
         * interpreted the same way, even if it does underspecify.
         *
         * A parameter string typed in on its own, with no seed _or_
         * description, gets treated the same way as a random seed,
