Man, I personally don't have enough time.  I've had the thing for
nearly 6 months now and I still don't have anything resembling a game,
just half finished library routines.  Porting the existing tools would
take a couple of nights, and I could find the time for that.
Otherwise it's easier to boot up Win 95 (gulp) and use the provided
tools for half an hour before returning from the Dark Side.
