Yes, I got it, I printed it, but can't find any time here to read it against
the recent CGA "specifications". After the 24th, as I said, I am going to
help that way.

Maybe it's so different that we will have a "basic CGA" wich works also onto
Xt, a "restricted CGA" wich also works on ncurses or similar libraries (I am
not joking at all, there are many uses for that), and an "enhanced CGA" wich
works only onto higher level interfaces like gnome and kde.

When I think about this, I guess that we have to find a comfortable way to
choose what toolkit to use at runtime.
