Since Rami and I are the actual authors of NEWT's fullscreen feature,
as well as the 'New BSD license' allows you to reuse BSD code w/ a copyright/license remark / attribution,
you are allowed to to as you please under these terms.
Of course, you can just copy/paste the essential fullscreen mode settings
from 'NewtWindows_setFullscreen(..)' .. it's just pretty basic stuff
and no attribution has to be made here. You might still want to add a simple comment
about the origins to keep comparison later on more easy (optional).
If you guys find another bug .. pls post it.
Hope this helps, sorry for the late reply.
