RE: Interface Proposal

[Mondragon, Ian]

i was looking into this issue last night and believe that i'm going to go
with WindowMaker's wrasterlib.  thanks for the feedback, everyone.

as a side note: i'm busy working on the GNUstep-specific code in Interface
at the moment, so there'll probably be a small delay until the next release,
which also will include the obligatory bug fixes (already have all of the
defaults stuff worked out).
