Another thing I was thinking about recently is the ability to capture (at
the kernel level) the console output to serial, but still have it go to
the video screen. For instance, booting up computers during demos, you
want the viewer to see the boot sequence, but you also want to monitor it
from your control system.

I'm guessing this is what GGI will provide. I should spend a few of my
copious spare milliseconds looking for docs on GGI's goals...
