A lot of work. I've done most of the re-writing of the span
functions into their native GDI counterparts. That's a good start.

We need to implement the rest of the server into native GDI calls,
then we can start looking at 'rootless' modes. It's by no means
a small task to do the conversion to native GDI first though.
