You're welcome to do that, but note that this may not be the final
API, as we haven't discussed it with Andy yet.

But on the other hand it will definitely be closer to the final API
than to the API any existing GGI apps use, so porting to this API
may be a good idea anyway. :)

Endianess? Alphas are little-endian too, at least when running

No, it's not a raveparty, it's more of a... well, festival ;)
20% of the people within a 20km radius from Stockholm pack 
themselves into an area in central Stockholm with a 1km radius,
trying to have a good time. :)
There's some info about it at http://www.waterfestival.se/program_eng.html
if you're intrested.

Btw, while looking at the libggi sources I repeatedly ask myself:
Who is it that have been checked and why, and by whom...
