We'll want 4bpp, 1bpp, and maybe 2bpp modes too soon, I think.

GDK is the layer which goes between GTK+ and Xlib (or the Windoze API in
the case of the Windoze GTK+ port). If we port GDK to Nano-X, we should be
able to run GTK+ (and hence the GTK+ version of Mozilla) without
modification (in theory).

I'm not convinced we really need to, though making it a bit closer to Xlib
in order to ease the porting of things like GDK couldn't hurt.
