	Yah!  so do I .. rastports and bitmap structures .. why not?

	One thing I have always wondered about:  Since many operations start
a blit and return (i.e. Draw()), how can you really be sure when your bitmap's
raster's can be freed?  Is there some call one can make which ensures any
blitter usage from the previous graphics library call will complete before
returning?
