libggi release (was Re: libggi internals (Re: LibGGI3D RFC))

Haven't been hacking libGGI for a few days, and being flooded with all that
3d stuff, but I noticed this:

Barring last minute changes, I think we should try to release some sort of
libGGI (beta) as soon as Andy gets back.  I mean, fbcon is going to be
official, should have a library to go with it too :-)

What do you mean by implementing it to 100% for most common targets?

Maybe support some weird X modes, or ModeX DirectBuffer (is that
"interleaved planar"?) ??

It's gonna take a while to have targets support all libGGI features, and
it's not "crucial" to have those working, so we shouldn't wait till it's
100% implemented before releasing.

I've thought it will be called 1.5, but 2.0 makes sense anyway since we've
been doing major changes...
