Not a bad idea. I would suggest focussing on stuffing keystrokes. It is
probably even more important than mouse clicks because it's sometimes going
to be tricky to figure out where to actually click. Most (good) Windows
programs can be almost 100% controlled by the keyboard anyway, and it's
usually exactly predictable how often you have to press Alt, Tab, Return, etc.
