The mouse coordinates are tied to the video track. It makes absolutely no
sense to replicate them into libvlc.

Also, the events are a bit silly. Double-clicks don't exist as such and
shouldn't be exposed. There should be a event carrying the status of all
buttons instead of click events. Mouse movement should be a single event
with two coordinates, not two events.

That said, I find the whole concept to be questionable. If you want to
handle mouse events, set --no-mouse-events and let the windowing system
send them to your parent window. As such, I fail to see why LibVLC would
need to reinvent the wheel.
