Indeed, and congratulations for that achievement!

The test_c_ntk target works on Linux for me without display issues
thanks to your recent changes.  It also appears you have fixed all
build system issues (alluded to above) for this device on Windows.  So
as of revision 12741 I have enabled this device by default.

As far as I can tell there is only one immediate issue left for this
device which can be demonstrated by running

examples/c/x33c -dev ntk

On Linux that vertical menu for 100 different page choices is so long
it goes right off the screen without a wraparound so that later pages
are inaccessible.  I read enough on the web to figure out the
-columnbreak 1 option should be used for (say) every 30th menu item, but
I could not figure out where to use that option in drivers/ntk.c.

That sounds like a good goal.  But just to clarify what you mean by
it, are you planning to give -dev ntk some plframe capabilities
similar to the way the colour palette widgets are available for -dev
tk?  Or are you thinking of a larger (or smaller) goal?
