  I'm all for it! Making a libGGI display target for the fbcon
architectures should be a matter of 2-3 hours coding, and 5-10
hours debugging.  All you have to provide to be a libGGI 
target is:

	* ggiPutPixel
	* ggiCheckMode
	* ggiSetMode
	* ggiPollEvent/ggiReadEvent [mouse/keyboard access]

   We already have targets for X-SHM, Xlib, KGI, [SVGAlib - buggy],
[XFree86-DGA - buggy], memory, Glide, and [of all things!] AAlib.

   You really should see ggiDoom in AAlib - it's a blast!
[Yes, that's right - play Doom in an Xterm!]

  See http://synergy.foo.net/~ggi for details & code.

NT 5.0 is the last nail in the Unix coffin. Interestingly, Unix
isn't in the coffin... It's wondering what the heck is sealing 
itself into a wooden box 6 feet underground...
