	Yes - kinda. I'm tossing the GGI Console version of KGI
and just working on GGI Console stuff on my own CVS tree until
I can get GGI Console working with fbdev devices. Then (hopefully
Steffen's new KGI will be out) I will re-write the kgiscroll
scroller.

	So both `kgicon' and `GGI Console' will be separate
projects which can support each other and not interfere with
each other's patches, but can _both_ be added to the kernel.

	Eventually, GGI Console would replace fbcon, but that
is still in the future. Basically, I don't want to hold back
KGI acceptance with the unfinished GGI Console code.
