Well the character fonts stop being fuzzy(aliased) at a 32 bit depth. 
But the colors still are biased in strange ways.  On my PC running
Hummingbird eXceed the colors have no reds and so everything is blues,
aquas, and blue greens.  On the console X-term the colors have reds but
most everything has a black bias to it almost as if the colors were
inverted or negatives of their intended colors.

I'll have to have a look at the sqXWindow.c file and see if changes made
there make things any better.  The good thing is that this version on
the Alpha is just a "because it's there, and I can" sort of build rather
than something that I need to have working.

Besides, now I can proudly post my "International Order of Squeak
Virtual Machine Builders" certificate on the wall of my office :D
