Not true.  I have ported the v4 sources and have them working, and the
result is in sparkling (well, as sparkling as the GS can display) color.
It's still slow (about 10 minutes for a 640x480 jpeg on a 9/64 Zip),
but that's really can't be helped.  

I need to redo the error-handlers so they don't crash on exit.  It might
be postable in a week or so, depending on how finals week goes...
