	On the contrary, the TurboRez had a toolset that could shield
a programmer from the low level stuff from its very inception. Sure,
you could probably have a unified graphics tool that GS users would
replace based on which card they had, but this would take lots of
cooperation from Jawaid and Bill St. Pierre, which I don't forsee.
