OK, now I see - I cannot just convert from ClickMods to the 
synthesized flags as I proposed above, but fortunately, it is possible 
to convert the other way round, which is actually done in 
CCamView::HandleDragEvent, so the conversion can be done in OilRuler, 
which then passes ClickMods instead of flags to an alternative 
implementation of CCamView::InvokeDragOp (which I think is precisely 
what you suggested above, Phil).
