Yeah I'm aware of LibSDL and I was thinking of using it. But decided against 
it because of the GLPL. If there's some similar with a BSD license that would

The reason I'm interested is because I want try and provide a different GUI 
for installation. Just so newbies have the choice of sysinstall or 
whatever...
