Recent versions of the C++ SDPGTK (http://www.k-3d.com) library have 
several high-level methods that provide this type of functionality, and 
are cross-platform (*nix and Win32). 
sdpGtkWidget::InteractiveWarpPointer() moves the pointer smoothly as if 
under user control.  Other methods are available for simulating button 
presses, menu picks, etc.
