One of the items discussed for GRX 2.0 is the separation of the event 
routines from GRX.  There is a prototype DPMI compatible event library
done (before 1.11 was released!) which could be used with V1.1x, but 
there needs to be a complete re-write for PM 32 bit operation in V2
of DJGPP.  I have a few comments from ARDI on what they would like in the new
design, but that is about as far as I have gotten.  So, I am listening.
