Hey cool... ever since David retired Gnuphoria, I've missed the
competitive coding spirit of porting Euphoria to other platforms.  Glad to
hear I'll have some *real* competition sometime soon (no offense David 
I feel like a C programmer alone in a dark corner while the
other Euphorians scurry about in the green pastures of sequences and
run-time error checking.

I've got a reference on XLib programming and am starting to work through
it.  The way I see doing it would be to hardcode the X window calls
wrapped in C as builtin procedures, with a Dos32Lib interface.  Now
wouldn't that be snazzy?

Progress is slow.  I tried compiling an older version on mac and got some
neato compile errors.  No big surprise there.  I'll try out my newer
unreleased version sometime later.
