Neil2 is still pre-release, so not really intended for mass consumption
yet.  I made it available so people could help me get the bugs out of the
Linux side of the graphics lib.  I had started on the WIN32 routines, which
are ignored in Linux, but fail due to not having call_back under DOS.  I've
moved the call to call_back to inside the WIN32 specific section, but I seem
to remember there were a few other problems.  I'll post the fixed version
once I get the WIN32 section mostly working.  The Linux part seems fairly
mature, it can run full-screen using SVGAlib.so or in an X11 window.  I
wanted to make it run X11 full-screen, but the XF86_DGA library isn't
available in shared object form.

I haven't gotten around to rewriting the docs yet, because the routines are
still being changed around alot.  New features include some neat color
blending and addition blits for both rectangles and rle sprites.  The new
blits use a lookup table for 8-bit modes, and all others (15,16,24,32)
manipulate the rgb parts of the color directly.  The alpha_blit routines add
the RGB components together and then divide by 2, performing a nice 50%
source and destination mix.  The blend_blit routines just add the RGB values
together and clip them at the maximum value, to keep the color from rolling
over to zero.
