[interfacekit] Re: app_server

Naw, I've been spending the last three days digging out of the pile of 
mail that accumulated while I was away. =P  Finally managed to read it 
all.

I'd like to see what you and Yuri have come up with; the more detailed 
the better, but something short and to the point would be fine.  As far 
as the AtheOS headers go, I'd just as soon extract the concepts and not 
the code.  Given our license, we do have to be careful about that GPL 
thing.  Also, I don't want to put us in a position where we're adapting 
our design to fit the design inherent in that code, if that makes any 
sense.  I'd much rather get our design squared away and then adapt 
existing code to fit that framework.

BTW, you can find some good information relevant to talking to the 
graphics drivers in the BWindowScreen docs.  It's not as complete as the 
Advanced Topics docs, but it looks like a good place to start while I 
work on making that stuff available.
