Re: [dev] libdraw development

WTF is this 'libdraw' thing? So are you guys not only duplicating
existing functionality implemented by p9p, but you are also
confusingly using the same names?

libdraw should be: http://man.cat-v.org/p9p/3/draw and that is what
should be used as a portable drawing backend, and if more
functionality is needed, patches should be submitted to Russ.
