Have compiled it.  Seems to work.  Will report if I find anything amiss.

My old patches still work with these version.  I've been using older
versions of these patches with urxvt 9.10 for ages.  I attach updated
copies of them to this mail in case someone else wants to use them.

The first patch, urxvt-selectright4.patch , changes selection
behaviour so that if the mouse pointer is on the rightmost pixel of
the rightmost character, it counts as being past the line (not on that
last character).  As I'm usually running urxvt without a border, so
this rightmost pixel of the rightmost column is often the absolute
rightmost pixel of the screen, without this patch I have no way to
select till the end of a line in vanilla urxvt.  This patch fixes
that.

The second patch, urxvt-forbidmouse4.patch , adds an escape sequence
that forbids applications to enable mouse reporting private modes.  I
am using this because some applications insist on using mouse
reporting and there's no easy way to disable that behaviour, so this
patch to urxvt provides an easy workaround.  If you apply this patch,
you need to run make alldoc.

The third patch, urxvt-xtermdoc4.patch , is not too significant but is
included for completeness: it documents some escape sequences xterm
has that urxvt is unlikely to implement, but might still be useful to
avoid clashes in case we add escape sequences later.  You also have to
run make alldoc if you apply this.
