For the next release of Aven, which will probably not occur until June, I am
planning to produce a version which has a modular structure, so new graphics
"engines" can be easily added.  I plan to produce GTK, Xlib and OpenGL
engines; one utilising SVGALib could be easily added if the demand is there or
if somebody wishes to write one.

If you're using a slow computer, there will then be no need for Xcaverot,
as Aven is very many times faster.
