LibGII never was functional -- more of a concept really.

Doesn't sound so bad :-).  

There is a LibOrb package floating around somewhere (it was announced on
c.o.l.a IIRC).  My link to Brett Viren's "Spaceorb Programming Secrets"

Huh ?  It's pretty tied to GGI console (formerly known as EvStack).  It
requires the "nmouse.c" subsystem, the /proc interface, plus all sorts
