I do also consider this the best soltion. It's not like we would really gain 
anything by putting those includes inside an ifdef. The fact that another 
compiler doesn't complain about something not declared makes it quite sure 
that those headers are already included so another #include will not add any 
unrequired code.

I've just taken a look and I'm missing a scroller in the default.xml. I 
suppose adding a PointerScroller using the right mouse button will be a good 
idea to keep the behaviour like it was.

Unfortunately the game doesn't start anymore...
I've just fixed a nasty little bug in the ButtonAxis which created an 
AxisEvent (which was not handled so far) in every update cycle.
Now the game does still use the full cpu power but an attached gdb showed me 
something inside ClanLib. :-(
