Actually, you can implement this very easily, by having a thin invisible
window on one edge of the screen and when the mouse enters it, putting an
invisible window over the whole screen, then warping the mouse.
When the mouse goes off the other edge, return to the thin window state.
Viola, x2x/x2vnc for Windows... :)
