I think it's a great idea. When I started working on st my main focus was dealing with the terminal stuff, not the graphics. I just hopped someone who actually know what he's doing with X11 [1] would rewrite the relevant code. Unfortunately it never happened. I've not mentioned it in the other thread, but I've already started a "libterm" on my own. Right now it's mostly terminal-related functions from st working on a term_t type.
