	Well, there's no question that we want blitting, especially for pixmaps.

BTW, I also implemented the pixmap stuff for mini-x, so that we could
start to work on another important topic, which is the high-level PIXMAP format.
Currently, nanoX uses arrays of GR_BITMAPs, which are currently drawn
using a routine in srvdraw.c.

I also think we need color pixmaps, and that's another highlevel discussion
that needs to start.  Especially if we are going to have to support palettized
devices (8-bit color).
