Ah, great.
For now, just setting the selection-coding-system removes 95 % of the 
pain; this might be useful information for other bleeding-edge-testers.

That's what the docs say, but not what happens on my Mac with the 
various USB mice I have.
I need to set it to nil to have the wheel button as mouse-2 and the 
right button as mouse-3.
If I set mac-wheel-button-is-mouse-2 to t, the wheel button is mouse-3 
and the right button is mouse-2, which is quite confusing of course.  
Maybe there is some other remapping at work, but I have no idea where 
to look.
