This is what I know of it: the translations happen in the
PeekMessage/GetMessage calls. If you follow the logic in
windows/message.c, you see that the raw hardware messages are processed
several times, and that a simple hardware message like mouse button up
or down can lead to several others. Not only clicks/double clicks but
also WM_SETCURSOR, WM_PARENTNORIFY, WM_ACTIVATE* and other (especially
hooks) message that may come with a mouse click are generated there.
