Well, I think that definitely would be a great feature, although it's not
something I've started thinking about yet. If I were to go that route, I'd
potentially also want to support the DVI, as it has a very large display to
take advantage of. (and I have one)

I'll look into these for the next version. Should be simple to fix.

This one I'm not so sure about. Aside from it not being a feature of
Minesweeper I am not familiar with in other implementations, it potentially
creates some ambiguity for the user about what happens when you click a
number cell. I'd like to think about this one more.
