...ok, got around to trying out the shared context thing, and guess 
what?  It works!  However, before I commit it I'd like to try it with 
dual screens, and also do a good bit of cleaning up the macwindow code: 
  it's uuuuuugly...

...so, does this work on windoze?  If so, I guess it's about time to 
merge it into HEAD...
