fast - fairly.  (I'm not that happy with current font handlers but have
yet to come up with better)

PG_Application - but look at the demo 'dblbuffer' and 'animation' more.

at this point things are getting to the point there NEEDS to be a real
demonstration of paragui in operation :)

btw - I'm the (main) programmer on the opengl branch - will still isn't
100% *sigh*.  Been on hiatus due to RL overload..

G'day, eh? :)
