To get an idea how this feels, please try the branch
dv/elastic-paging-prototype.  (It also contains a stack of
unrelated pending changes that can beignored).

What's implemented:

  + Keeps the pointer away from the screen edges.  The window can
    be moved any distance (but is not visible off screen yet).
  + The old paging code is removed.

Not implemented:

  - Switching off the cursor.
  - Fake cursor.
  - Warping the cursor back.
  - Actual paging.
