thank you, Jim.

Probably most of the ESS developers are not using C-mouse-1
extensively (some of don't use the mouse very much at all ..).
However, for the ESS users who do, the above should be made
default behavior I think. 
Of course one could think of further differentiating different
kind of ESS buffers, but in most cases it won't be worth it.

Since the release of ESS 5.1.20 is pretty imminent (finally
proper support of Emacs 21), I'd be glad to add this before
release unless I hear more..
