The current plan is to keep all the calls available, but turn them into
no-op's on the graphics version.

The graphics/gui side is only relevant for visualization and interactive
use.  So, if you're switching to a truly headless batch-only mode, then the
behavior of no-op calls to the graphics parts of the API will be the same
as what is really desired.

In many ways, the graphics version of the API is like a debug mode.  It'll
be very useful for developing a batch mode program, but when you go to
production, it won't make a difference.
