from http://www.winehq.org/pipermail/wine-devel/2008-November/070539.html:
the issue in fixing WCUSER_GenerateMouseInputRecord() is that we'll 
still get the same warning in valgrind from a partly initialized 
INPUT_RECORD from any caller to WriteConsoleInput (and the code in 
wineconsole is perfectly correct as it only assigns the fields it needs 
for a MouseEvent)
the cleanest fix should be in WriteConsoleInput not to pass the 
undefined parts to wineserver (or to set them to zero)
