OK, I've made some strides in that direction.

Fixed.

Incidentally I am wondering, with cross-platform compatibility
in mind I have been coding assuming that fb_{read|write}[wl] must be
short/long aligned. Is that assumption correct?

I've also added my copyarea routine. At first I tried to make use
of cfb_copyarea but it proved very buggy in 24bpp.

New code is at http://home.comcast.net/~plinius.
