Summary: Partial success.

Well, using the technique suggested by kodiak@amiga.UUCP (Robert R. Burns),
I have successfully grabbed the mouse port, used it, and given it back. Now
the problem is that when I try to do it again it doesn't work. Total mouse
lockup.

Not only do I do a IND_SETMPORT and a IND_SETMTYPE, but I also do a
GPD_ASKTRIGGER ahead of time so I can do a IND_SETMTRIG. Doesn't help.

Do I have to completely close the gameport before I give the port back to
intuition, and open it again after I steal it teh second time? That's what
I'm going to try next...
