I have built and tested 0.83, and it runs with no problems on my system. I
only had to make the standard Makefile, and mouse settings changes.
Responsiveness under nano-X is now much better. The mouse no longer lags
when it is drawing in the top two windows. Screen updates in microwindows
loook much nicer too. Good job all round.
