I have a new lead on making svgalib A LOT more adaptive to the running
system type (and it's sparse and dense mem bases). While patching up the
new X, I realised that X is using the _bus_base() and
_bus_base_sparse() functions to determine what those values are. This
will probably prove to be a better method towards making svgalib adaptive
in that way...
I'll work on it this week and see if I can get it working (or at least
compiling). I feel that this is a much better direction that any other
that I know of...
