And what I was meaning when you came back to hwgui and I told about the
try-and-go growth of the library.

I already agreed with you and it seems to be the only way to have hwgui
working good.
I think that's better to add on a rocky base the new features, than to
patch erratically a collapsing building.
All the contributions of Basso and Culik since 2.16c could be implemented
after purging them of pointers bugs.
I'm trying to resume what, after 2.16c, was a patch and what a new feature.
Maybe applying the introduced patches, before to add the enhancements,
could be the right way.
Regards.
Maurizio
