Other

• Make IRC/chat channel Done: irc.gnome.org, #mousetrap
• Reach out to other accessibility outlets to inform them about MouseTrap

THE PLAN

• Add_message stuff
• Make framerate and pointer-update rate configurable.

Should framerate and pointer-update rate be configurable? Why are the defaults set at 150/50? It seems that tracking might be smoothable by tweaking this options.
