[Ohrrpgce] SVN: james/10355 Enable mouse right-drag scrolling on the browse screen

[Ralph Versteegen]

I have been asked a few times about an Android port of Custom by people who
wanted to use it. And there are editors for graphics and music on phones,
so it's not unreasonable to build game creation engines for smartphones.
A laptop with a touchscreen is quite a different proposition, because it
doesn't require an Android build, and you can fallback to the keyboard.
