Mouse moved events in an NSCell

I have a custom NSCell inside an NSTableView. I need to intercept
mousemoved events in the cell.

- Tracking rectangles in an NSCell. Oops, NSCell isn't a subclass of
NSResponder.
- Tracking rectangles on the table view. Annoying list of methods to
override and flags to play with, but doable, except for one issue:
- According to the "Basic Event Handling" doc, only the first responder
receives mouse moved events. This is not acceptible; I need to always
receive the events.

Is there ANY way to do this without hacking the entire event stream
from NSApplication on down or switching the entire thing to a Carbon
window and a MouseTrackingRegion?
