it can't be made as a plugin (or at least it didn't make sense for us),
but i did it by extending the sdl input plugin (the default one that uses 
pygame) and the event system of Freevo2, see 
http://studio.kyperjokki.fi/engine/FreevoPointerInput (i don't 
know/remember if there are links from the freevo2 wiki, as should be)

it works and is used by Alex D'Elia in production (as reported in
http://sourceforge.net/mailarchive/forum.php?thread_id=6718304&forum_id=9200
but the message is somehow corrupted in the archive?), but afaik is not in
cvs yet (and would need some cleaning and thinking still).

that is for point&click, but getting support for the buttons is easier 
'cause you don't need new event types -- the existing events are fine .. 
supposing sdl gives all those different buttons correctly should be easy

for the upcoming freevo2, i hope you'll find the patches linked to on that
wiki page useful - they do some necessary changes in the sdl input plugin, 
input -> event posting, menu event handling etc.
