Heh.... well this does look like it will be a little bigger a job than
I originally thought.  Still I think it's probably worth it but I don't
think it's any "weekender" :).

Looking at files like keyboard.c vs x11-keyboard.c a lot of
functions are pretty close to the same except inner I/O 
handling functions.  Part of my problem is not really knowing
the X11 APIs very well and as a result trying to understand 
what some of the code is doing is getting tricky.

I was a decent SDL programmer a few years back but I never 
really did much with X11. :)

Hopefully this will be more educational than frustrating.

Dave
