Ok, then we have cleared out that.
Now all we have to do is make sure the targets conform to this,
and document it.

Excuse me??? I thought we agreed to delinuxify libggi a long time
ago. If GGI_KT_CONS refers to console-switching it should be
removed right away. Telling a win32 application to switch virtual
console would be kind of bizzare...

It's very convenient for people writing targets, wrappers and emulators, 
to name a few uses. I assume that I'm not the only one who doesn't know
either the ascii-code for an "ucircumflex" or how to type it on the
keyboard...
