 	This once was Keith Packard's original cfb rewrite (from about `90),
 and some of his later machine specific updates (the mips code targeted the
 original r3000 DecStations and later the NCD X-terminals, when he worked
 there).  Unfortunately the XFree people basically broke it seriously (I admit
 that I haven't checked this code at all in over a year); But I doubt it has
 much residual value, though a check of change log entries should tell if anyone
 believes it has been fixed in the past few years (it was *very* busted a few
 years ago - someone who really didn't understand that bad assembler is worse
 than good 'C' totally trashed it).
