I can't find Philip's name anywhere in the source or docs, so I'm not sure
that he's even been involved?

I've been in contact with John Tytgat, Peter Naulls and Adam Richardson, who
seem to have been the only people to have been active in the riscos.info
repository for over 10 years, and all have reported that they're no longer
involved with the library.

On that basis, and since my change is to add a "new" Pointer_SetPosition
function which doesn't affect any existing API, I'm proposing to merge my
change into the trunk unless anyone can think of a reason why it would be a
bad idea. The function appears to have originally been added by Adam back in
the late 2000s when he was working on WinEd and DeskLib, but was never
committed to the repository. The WinEd sources expect it to be present,
however, so it's necessary to make WinEd build.
