In the discussion cited below I reported a bug in mwheel, which turned
out to be customizable behaviour. However it has the "wrong" default
(compared to all other applications I have access to). William, what
do you think of adding the patch below, effectively changing the
default?

* mwheel.el (mouse-wheel-follow-mouse): Change default to t.
