I was never able to get duit to work completely on 9front, I had some 
success with a forked version of the p9p go tools that I had hacked 
on[0] but there seemed to be quite a few little differences to the 
environment that p9p gives vs what native plan9 gives you in practice. 
In particular I recall p9p devdraw always had the window top left corner 
be (0,0), which caused quite a few assumptions in duit. Also some issues 
on how to treat special characters like tab literals in text display. I 
could be remembering wrong, it has been a while since I tinkered with it.
