Hello, I was looking through the changelog on the latest CVS update and
noticed with great rejoicing that the allmighty Ian is back! =))))

After correcting some conflicts with the update, I was able to run make
in .../platforms/unix/config/ with the latest versions aclocal and
autoconfig and it seemed to work. 

I say seemed to because I was unable to test the resulting VM because my
normal monitor blew up and I am stuck in console mode for the time
being. 

I bring this up because the solution to both my current difficulties,
the guy with the X-less server and also a long-term solution to
low-overhead squeaking is to complete work on the framebuffer driver. 

Now that Ian is back, I will offer my meager services towards that
project. 

Also, I am eagerly awaiting the results of the SystemDictionary
refactoring and cleanup because it mighmt be exactly what I need to
implement a working prototype of my Sphere operating system. =))))

In general, keep up the great work. =)
