Distinguishing simple and double clicks

[David Bovill]

I think it's common enough a GUI technique for a feature request - though
I'm not sure how? Maybe something like:

insert the mouseDoubleUp of btn 1 to front
>
or

set the messageOrder of btn 1 to "mouseDoubleUp,mouseDouble"

but it may be hard to implement in the engine?
