Yeah, that would do (though I guess that's the hard part Mark's talking
about ;)

Even a small set of GUI commands would be nice, like some basic window
commands and fixed set of gadgets? Even if we didn't get full access to
everything available...?

If it is going to be just for games-type programming, can you give us a list
of what kind of things you plan to have (eg simple sprite/bob type commands,
3D commands, sound, etc)? Should I start reading up on DirectX, or would
that be a waste of time?

Oh, and when do we start beta (alpha?)-testing? ;)
