Qemu: Tries to emulate a USB-tablet (at least in a windows guest). Of course, 
Windows needs it drivers available for this and Qemu does not use 
guest-additons. So I just use the keystrokes to toggle mouse capture. This is 
certainly OK.

VBox: Also has keystrokes. Guest additions not available for Win98, but 
sometimes, low and behold, quite spontaneously, friendly mouse capture is 
working without even asking. Might stop during the session but works at least 
for a while. I cannot reproduce this, it just happens.

In the Einstein game, mouse over the game's window is captured (or more 
accurately, followed). When the mouse leaves the window, the "capture" 
ceases. My suggestion (I have not looked at the code) is that VBox might work 
similarly, without keyboard toggles or dependence on guest-additions.
