Speaking as an Inferno and P9P user on OS X, I definitely do not want
more X11 libraries linked in as that would prevent emu from launching
on certain hosts. So I'm not inclined towards a libxdraw on my
primary 9vx, p9p, and Inferno hosts.
That said, I do like the p9p implementation of libdraw + devdraw as
that frees up the linked in requirements and lets end users experiment
with different versions of devdraw rather easily. Note devdraw(1):
BUGS
Devdraw should probably present a standard 9P server instead
of using its own protocol.
A 9P server and new libdraw (please, no X in the name as that's like
Ron's declaration about I, E, and the number of letters in an acronym--
someone needs to put it into fortunes) Getting access to a 9P based
window server running on non-Plan 9 targets would be nice. Especially
as that should also free up the devdraw to use whatever graphics+mouse+
extras in an event loop required for non-Plan 9 hosts.
