Yes. One reason for the seperation between MADO and bitblt is to
allow that (ie. draw to a printer driver/postscript generator which
looks just the same).

MADO will primary be a multiplexer, but I have plans to also include a
certain amount of built-in functionality (menus, labels etc), and to
support downloadable code. Given that Java looks so neat, I guess that
might be where it will go.
All dependent on time of course....
