Dear all,

i've managed to successfully boot a wscons display+keyboard for the
RiscPC.

Lost of work needs to be done on it though ... esp. wsmouse and X support.
There are also still some issues with colour maps and accelleration.

In contrast to other wscons implementations, i've maximised the character
area to the maximum for all display modes independent of the font size.
The FONT_VT220L8x16 gives a good aproximation of the old console screen
sizes but FONT_GALLANT12x22 remains my favourite though :)

Dynamic fontloading and multiple virtual consoles is not supported yet as
are resolution changing; these areas will be adressed later.

I'm now in the phase of code cleaning and review and will try to commit it
soon.

The two consoles (vidcconsole and wscons) are exclusive choises now but
co-exist in the current source tree. Selection between the two is now done
at config time.

Cheers,
Reinoud
