	The wrapper would probably go around SUID-KGI, not KGIcon.  KGIcon
is meant for wrapping the _fbdev_ interface around KGI drivers, and as
such is heavily kernelspace-dependent.  SUID-KGI is already designed to
run KGI drivers in userspace, so I imagine that it would take considerably
less work to bridge to the XFree86 4.0 driver API.
