OK, this is the only thing that came to my mind, seems it's a fair solution.

This work will have to be done in :

- nglFont/nglFontBase (USE_FREETYPE) : okay, text editing skills
- nglStringConv (USE_ICONV, USE_MLANG) : maybe I can cope with some simple opaque types
- nglVideoMode (USE_XF86VIDMODE) : same trick as nglFont
- nglMath (USE_FAST_FLOAT_CONVERSION) : actually only affects header inline code, so
is okay here
