I don't know, you could map the library calls to file I/O, largely
write.  I was thinking that a similar approach would enable Plan 9 to
map X library calls to the native graphics and thus provide a
migration path.  But I haven't given it any serious thought.  And the
number of available X functions is daunting.  But lesstif may at least
illustrate what is possible.
