Now that I can compile InterViews with g++, I was planning on doing
this using my thread library. I was basically going to have a thread
in the scheduler run the windowing event loop; however, since the
threads aren't premptive (for speed), it's not clear if this will
suffice. If anyone else wants to hack on this, you can get the thread
library Awesime:

	/anonymous@ftp.cs.colorado.edu:pub/cs/misc/Awesime

It works for mips-r[23]000, SPARC, m88k, i386, m68k and used to
support ns32k, but I haven't used that in a while.
