	Easily.. in fact, it is already supported to a degree.  You can set
the rp_Mask field in the rastport of the window to control which planes get
updated, which leaves only the problem of layers keeping around bitmap 
copies for the planes we don't use.

	I would like to see depth control added to the Window structure...
I could use it!
