I agree. Graphics, being platform specific, don't belong in the core
language at all. They're no use to me when I write programs for
Windows, and equally useless when I write Linux programs. I can't
even "un-include" the names from the namespace. If it would make
Euphoria executables smaller, I'm in favor of separating the DOS-only
graphics, so we can include them if we want, or choose a similar
svga-lib for Linux, or just use Windows or X-win graphics.

Unfortunately, Neil hasn't worked on _any_ of the 3 computers I've
tried it on, so that's not an alternative.
