great! seems exactly what i was looking for! in fact, it seems like an
implementation of my suggestion.
now we should immediately remove these functions because they are
bloat! :)
somebody has to add info about these functions in the ggiPutBox and
ggiGetBox man pages! (it would have saved me lots of trouble). just
one thing missing: i guess void* needs to be allocated before
ggiPackColors, but how do i know what size to allocate?
