Yes ofc, and we need all the abstraction Nativewindow/JOGL/NEWT,
which is the proper architecture to allow platform agnostic interfacing between all of them
for all platforms (X11, Windows, OS X, Android, OpenKODE, ..).

Indeed .. guess we have to put a blinking banner in the FAQ or front page :)

Source code and examples _ARE_ IMHO the best documentation ever ..

While adding OS X offscreen-layer-surface stuff, I can tell you .. the lack of both

I will send a few more replies .. and head out to my 2 day-weekend :)

Hopefully next week, I can catch up with all the other work,
