Yep, the more interfaces, the better. :)
My main purpose was to get a web browser for the framebuffer, and
that's why I started doing my current oFBis interface.

Recently, I've mailed with a guy who had an interest in making an
interface using the Allegro library, which apparently has GGI as a
subtarget, plus a few others. I have never looked at the library, so I
don't know anything about it myself.

I'll try to write some documentation about how to put in a new
interface in Zen. All my code is well documented, but it could still
need a few words outside the source code.
