possibly, but having looked at SDL quickly just now,
i'd say that if the framebuffer man had done that, it would
have complicated things for me with Inferno: SDL doesn't just implement the graphics
level, but everything else as well.  it's effectively a plan9ports with
a different programming interface: it has got its own threads,
mutexes, events, ..., all of which i suppose get involved at some point
when invoking the graphics.
