Note that this is not windows-specific really. Rather, this
should be applicable to all devices which support minimal mouse
interaction, i.e. at least those that support locator(),
ideally just all those listed in dev.interactive
Rather, we probably should a new par() {and gpar() for grid !}
option for the new feature,
maybe something like [g]par(wait_mouseclick = TRUE)
