  I thought of another uglyish kludge that might work and, while kludgey,
not necessarily as ugly as the void pointers:

// Header:
class dfbScreen
{
    class MyIDirectFB
    MyIDirectFB* dfb;
...
};

// Source file:
class dfbScreen::MyIDirectFB: public IDirectFB
{
 /* If IDirectFB supports copying, you can just implement a constructor
    here which takes an instance of type IDirectFB in order to initialize
    objects of type MyIDirectFB, like:

    MyIDirectFB(const IDirectFB& init): IDIrectFB(init) {}

    If IDirectFB does not support copying, then you'll have to replicate
    its constructors here. No way of automatizing that until the next C++
    standard gets implemented in compilers.
  */
};
