As I said on this list several times, I would appreciate it if someone
would make boot floppies use libbogl0 and bogl-bterm instead. Every
patch that goes in to bogl in this archive runs a high risk of being
lost.
I'm not set up to build boot floppies right now, but since no one else
has done this, I guess I'll try to do it tomorrow.
