Add more mouse actions

[GoogleCodeExporter]

According to the wiki, you can have only four actions:

*  mouse_middle = none
*  mouse_right = close
*  mouse_scroll_up = toggle
*  mouse_scroll_down = iconify

Some people (like me :P) have mouse with more buttons, so it'll be cool if you 
can add more actions.

I imagine something like:

mouse_button_x = task

Where x is the value that xev outputs.

That said, could we have two ways of typing it, the first one (actual one) 
which is more intuitive and a also my suggestion. 

Obviously, this leads to mouse_right is the same to mouse_button_3 and 
mouse_middle is the same as mouse_button_2, the same goes for scroll_up and 
_down which are equivalent to 4 and 5 respectively.

That's -of course- not a defect, more like an enhancement. Can I change that or 
that's reserved to the developers?

Is there some way to do this? If you can guide me a bit I could try to 
implement this feature on my own.

LOL, I did it, it was really simple actually :$

I'm attaching a patch (I hope I did it right, if not, tell me how can I improve 
it) that adds support for buttons 8 and 9 (lateral buttons, that usually works 
as back & forward in most browsers).
