Wsdisplay for Amiga graphics cards including vcons support is done!

Radoslaw Kujawa and me already implemented it for Cybervision64 and CV64/3D.
It is tested and works fine! Adapting the remaining grfXX.c drivers is
easy.

The next step would be to make Xorg run via wsfb.

As I understand we need to switch the Amiga port to Xorg first, by changing
some Makefiles? Can somebody give us a hint how to procede?

BTW, nothing will be committed until the whole project is finished. We are
working on a private branch.
