Adds support for confining the mouse pointer to a Java AWT or Swing window, useful for video games that use mouse look or edge scrolling.

Usage:
0. Download release/jpointerlock.jar and lib/native-library-loader.jar from the code section, and add them to your build path/classpath.
1. Call PointerLockLoader.init() as early as possible on the AWT EDT to load the native library.
