Allright, here's the new version. You no longer need a .evrouterrc; it makes that on-the-fly (under a different name). If you do have one, it will be included in the created file, so if you use evrouter to rebind keys or touchscreen events, that'll still work.

This probably won't work with two mice hooked up. If it does, only one will work. If someone wants to post patches for multiple mice, that's great, but it's too much hassle for me, and I couldn't test it anyway...

Code:

#!/bin/sh
killall evrouter mouse_poll
rm /tmp/.evrouter\:0.0

for devfile in /dev/input/event*; do
  sudo /bin/chmod a+r $devfile
done 

device="/dev/input/`awk '/^H.*mouse/ {print $NF}' </proc/bus/input/devices`"
if [ "$device" != /dev/input/ ] ; then 
  echo "Device found: $device"
else
  echo "No device found! Aborting."
  exit 1
fi

cat >~/.evrouterrc_auto < ~/.evrouterrc
sed "s/dev/$device/" >~/.evrouterrc_auto << E_O_F
Window ""
"" "dev" any key/272 "XButton/1"
"" "dev" any key/273 "XButton/3"
"" "dev" any key/274 "XButton/2"
"" "dev" any rel/8/1 "XKey/Up"
"" "dev" any rel/8/-1 "XKey/Down"
E_O_F

mouse_poll $device&
evrouter -c ~/.evrouterrc_auto /dev/input/event*&

while [ "x`grep '^H.*mouse' /proc/bus/input/devices`" != x ]; do
  sleep 5
done

killall evrouter mouse_poll

By the way, reason I didn't warn anyone about the unplugging issue: I'm hardly aware of it, because everytime I unplug the mouse, it's to plug it back into my desktop. So I'm leaving the adapter in the N800, and going back and forth. I'll be even more grateful for your (presumed) fix when I get around to buying a little mouse for the N800.
