Unfortunately you only have a fraction of a Peter Hull as real life
keeps intruding !
What kind of platform is Haiku - if it's posix and it has OpenGL it
might not be too hard. For example there is now no graphics code at
all in the OS X specific stuff, it's all done in the cross-platform
OpenGL files. I just have to set up the contexts and handle the
events.
