Good point, I didn't think of that.

What would you prefer:
1) splitting the GDK API into two parts. one for the nano-X part, one for
the rest, but using the GDK API function names for both.
or
2) a nano-X lib and a nano-GDK wrapper lib. The nano-GDK lib provides the
additional functinallity and just function name translation from GDK to
nano lib, either through simple jumps or #defines.
