Right, this ought to work.

I'm not sure the root_offset thing is worth it though, passing in the
rb_root pointer isn't much of a hassle, in fact I'd expect to pass rb
related pointers to a function called rbtree_insert().

Also, using a macro to create the rbtree_relationship thing would make
it easier. Something like:

	RB_RELATION(struct mouse, node, name, name_cmp);

I'd think you'd also want to provide an insertion variant that does the
leftmost thing, that's used in several places, and you'd also need one
for the augmented rb-tree.
