	That looks OK, though for Mac OS X I still have a desire to =
store an
extra field in the monitor_desc, and ideally an extra one in video_mode.

1) Can I somehow subclass monitor_desc it in this situation?

2) Would the definition of this vector have to be in video_<host>.cpp
    to enable me to subclass it?

a) I think having a map<> would be much tidier

b) Preventing having to search through stuff is why I would like to add
    a generic platform-specific field into the two video struct/classes
