I hadn't thought of that angle, but that would be powerful!

The library does most of the hard work, so all the custom code has to do 
is provide a framebuffer and handle input events.

For the initial iteration, I am trying to attach to the main 
framebuffer, but once that is working, it should be trivial to set it up 
as you describe.

  Thanks!
