Mode setting API's

[Keith Whitwell]

As I've said, I don't have a deep grasp of the requirements of a putative 
future mode-setting API, but in the course of other reading I came across 
MLdc, which is a part of the OpenML environment.  This is a library API which 
seems to give comprehensive control of mode-setting to an application, but 
also seems to provide a reasonably easy way to set simple modes.  It also has 
an extension mechanism.

It's currently dependent on X to a tiny degree, so there would be some work in 
adapting it to become "stand-alone", and it probably has no conception of 
things like virtual terminals, etc.

Anyway, the OpenML spec is here:
http://www.khronos.org/openml/spec.html
MLdc is a component of the larger environment.
