I didn't realise that this proposal was limited to appearing a single
window on screen.
There are progressions form that though, visibility, window flags,
positioning it, filling it with pixels... we now need to invent a
bitmap, or expose opengl for rendering to it. Where does it end?
If my requirements are really so simple that I just need to appear a
window and put pixels on it, I have no problem writing portable code
for that. It's only a few lines per platform.
