[SDL] Detecting Double Clicks

[Joe Tennies]

That was my thought, but I think that a double-click event would be a nice
thing to add to SDL 2.  Something that would check the speed value for the
given OS/WM.  I don't want to make guesses as to what the user wants for a
double click speed, and the information's already there under most OS/WM I
know of.

Could this be added Sam?  Also perhaps a single click event... the mouse
down and mouse up would still go down on every mouse button press, but a
click and double-click would be generated as well.  (Along the lines of
Borland Builder's implementation.)

How is the best way to detect double clicks?  I looked and there isn't a
specific event id for a double click (unlike say a mouse down event), so
what would be a good way to determine if the user has double clicked versus
just single clicking?  Do you set a timer and if they don't click again
within a certain threshold, do you assume its just a single click, otherwise
it would be a double click?
