Okay, I wasn't really aware there was today another PowerVR
implementation. Is it fully API-compatible with the PowerVR stuff of
the ti-gfx package currently done by Spenser? What is this other
PowerVR thing for compared to the one currently packaged by Spenser?
Is the 'ti-gfx' package name chosen by Spenser appropriate?
