APE has been a bit neglected the last year or two.  There should
certainly be an APE version of <draw.h>.  I removed <ape/libg.h>

None of the above, really.  I suppose we could put the old documentation
on line - in fact it's still there, just hidden - but is that actually useful?
Is there much 2nd edition stuff you feel needs to be updated?
