Hello, Christoph!

I got numerous warnings and errors with the type casting, the most frequent
is a assignment to int from float and the similar. But need to say, that 3.5
source was nightmare as for type casting :) comparing to the 3.6.1 sources
:)

But anyway I want to port it to QNX6 ;)

I've added Photon GUI code (like X11 and SVGA code). I think it would be
nice to include it into the mainstream sources. How I can send the patches
concerning GUI for first time ? Post it here ?

 CH> Yes. ;-)

Excellent :) !
