    Is it possible that the NeWS side of XNeWS could would run in 24bits pretty
    much as-is, whereas the X side would require a little bit more work, or is it
    the case that the port would be as difficult for both sides (or is there
    effectively only one thing to port)?

I don't really know how X11/NeWS is implemented internally.  I thought both
halves were built on top of a common graphic library, in which the X side
wouldn't take much additional work.
