I was about to apply this, but some of the details in it are still too
messy.  For the panning, I still don't like having a new global variable
for the previous tool.  It should instead be passed to create_scroll_tool
and stored in the ScrollTool structure.  For the tool stickiness reversing
-- which UI-wise is nice -- adding an extra parameter to a bunch of central
calls just for that is ugly -- better to pass in at least the full set of
modifiers so they could be used for other purposes.

Sorry to delay so long, but it's harder to review a complex, multi-function
patch than a simple one, and so more easily gets pushed behind other
stuff.  

Some notes for patch-creators: Please keep each patch to one purpose.  If I
agreed with one part of this patch and not the other, I would have to put
in a lot of extra work to single those parts out.  Also, please refrain
from doing cleanup together with functional patches, it makes reviewing
harder.  Cleanup as a stand-alone patch woud be fine.

This one is fine and committed (though with a thought attached in the
ChangeLog).
