libc should get us most of the dependencies.

"Making a new backend should be easy.

You'll need to provide a class "Window" which corresponds to a graphics
display. In a windowing environment it can be a standalone window.
It could also be the entire screen on framebuffer, etc.
(in the case of a framebuffer, you can subclass from backend-base)

The Backend will provide :
* the simple drawing primitives:
draw_line, draw_point, fill_rect
* the simple image display routines:
Image, show_image
* event handling for keyboard and mouse events.
* optional font and color managment
* optional clipboard copy/paste

The Window class should provide the following functions:"

I'm thinking port pyvm to djehuty and port djehuty to the console driver?
