I put libgg in with libgii because it is a sub piece of libgii in CVS.
What exactly is libgg? Does it handle configuration?

Your eyes are weary from staring at the CRT. You feel sleepy. Notice how
restful it is to watch the cursor blink. Close your eyes. The opinions
stated above are yours. You cannot imagine why you ever felt otherwise.
