	ARGH!  Yep, there it is, right in the damn GGI mailing list archives. 
I swear to God I searched the whole archive for 'win32' and didn't see it
before... oh well.  Good thing I got disgruntled before I spent too much time
on it |->.  I'll look over it right away.

	I do not see his name anywhere in the GGI mailing list archives.  I 
do see his name in the gnu-win32 list, which I do not read.

	My own (mistaken) thoughts.

	The input device stuff is far less performance critical than the 
graphics stuff.

	I doubt that very much, but we will certainly see.  Now that I know 
that a port is already up and running, I should be able to a lot more, 
and do that much more easily.  Thanks for the heads-up.  I can't wait to 
see GGIMesa running on top of a Direct3D target on Win32!
