There are only very few machine_proc calls in widgets, basically just
to remove one level of indirection in critical routines.

As far as I remember there is no assembly in the font module. So I am
not quite sure what you were commenting on or out.

Just four:

    1. I like to roll my own, but only if I can do it smarter.
    2. I want my cursor transparent, no-one else does it.
    3. When I say 'show', I want my cursors displayed, and when I say
       'hide', I expect them to be hidden, irrespective of how many
times
       I said 'show' anywhere else in the murky depths of my code...
    4. No other set of mouse routines works reliably in SVGA
        modes, with possible exception of Pete's 'Mighty' or whatever
is
        the name he gave it, and from which I stole a trick.

I don't know. Don't you have interrupts under Linux, that's a bit
rough?!
