ARGH! Yep, there it is, right in the damn GGI mailing list archives.
I swear to God I searched the whole archive for 'win32' and didn't see it
before... oh well. Good thing I got disgruntled before I spent too much time
on it |->. I'll look over it right away.

I do not see his name anywhere in the GGI mailing list archives. I
do see his name in the gnu-win32 list, which I do not read.

My own (mistaken) thoughts.

The input device stuff is far less performance critical than the
graphics stuff.

I doubt that very much, but we will certainly see. Now that I know
that a port is already up and running, I should be able to a lot more,
and do that much more easily. Thanks for the heads-up. I can't wait to
see GGIMesa running on top of a Direct3D target on Win32!
