Hold your horses ;-) I didn't get to the mouse yet; as I wrote
elsewhere, all the work till now is being done on a Unix text terminal
(which does not support GPM, in case you wondered).  But I did test
hl-line-mode after setting hl-line-range-function to something that
covers a small number of characters on each side of point, and it did
work as expected.  So I believe that the mouse highlight should work
as well.
