roger has been working on charon running in a Plan 9
window (ie, using Plan 9's /dev/draw directly).
it seemed to work fine--unsurprisingly, since the
models are currently the same--and once we've installed something suitable
to replace the hack his script(s) relied on (that i removed yesterday),
we'll parcel it up somehow so that anyone can use it.
he hasn't come in today so i haven't been able to discuss
possible replacements for the hack, but it shouldn't be too long.
