Two new reserved channels for getting information from the mousewheel:

**MOUSEWHEEL\_DELTA\_Y** Returns the amount the wheel has moved on the Y axis.

**MOUSEWHEEL\_DELTA\_X** Returns the amount the wheel has moved on the X axis.

Is this for a mouse with a trackball in them? How would these work with a mouse that only has one direction?
