We must build a system that is compatable accross systems
EG pc,amiga,sparc,st.  The number of colours and size of bitmapped
display will have to be variable, but if the core driver is the
same, or externally the same, software will be portable.

The Minix community isn't massive, and the systems are all very close
to each other.  If no system specific stuff is in the external interface
we all win.
