I know nothing about OpenGL stuff, and the little I could find about  
setting the mouse position in Cocoa says 'don't do it', but assuming  
there is good reason for adding that capability, I have one comment ...

You really need to provide an implementation for mswindows as well as  
for gnu/linux.  This is really essential for writing portable  
applications ... it's a really good discipline to ensure that any code  
which works on gnu/linux works on mswindows too.
