I don't have any of the hardware/handheld stuff this would run on, but I
am very curious about something. I have games on my mind, and I'm
wondering what kind of hardware resources are typical on these...mainly
program size, and C++ support. How hard would it be to port an Xlib app
to this? Though it would be a bit absurd under low power systems, how
hard would it be to port OpenGL/Mesa to it? How well do these handhelds
do with small animations?
