I don't see why this can't just be implemented as a service and a library..
The service would mainly be for pty, and I'm not sure that its necessary for
that.. Windows doesn't have the Ring 0 requirement that OS/2 has I don't
think. Plus Direct X eliminates the need for some of it.. I'll learn more
as I go, but I don't think this needs to be, or should be a driver on the
Windows platform.
Honestly, I can't think of anything that couldn't just be included in a
library.. Tell me if you've heard otherwise, and I have ALOT more research
to do before I have a solid grasp of what needs to be done, but I think a
straight port of XF86SUP.SYS as a .a archive will work (My opinion here is
VERY subject to change :)) I think the only reason he has it loading in the
config.sys is for the ring 0 requirements that are enforced by OS/2..
