Hi Andreas,

the reasons why I haven't checked it in yet are:
1. currently it's an ugly hack,
2. it's still a hack,
3. it only supports artist gfx's (some 712/xxx and 715/xxx machines) atm,
4. I would like to test it more and clean up the sources before I commit it.

Thanks for the SCROLL_YREDRAW patch. I will upload the updated version to the 
above ftp-site as soon as I have tested it.

Greetings,
Helge
