	   Is this what you're trying to do with the new bogl drivers using the variable
   byte-putting procedures?

Yes.

	   This is more what I was suggesting when I talked about trying to combine
   all the bogl 8/16/24/32 bit drivers into one, for maintainability.

Agreed.  I should note at this point that I didn't write the
variable-byte-width driver.  It's by dhd@debian.org, David
Huggins-Daines (sp?).  I do plan to maintain it.
