Thanks for your interest, but my opinion is that step one should be to bring in
the latest version (0.89f from 2006) that among other things (closing debian
bug#91959 from 2001 for example) has a GGI backend that should resolve the
8bpp situation.

I don't mind an SDL version in addition to the GGI version, and will look at
incorporating your changes upstream, but it would of course be best if you
could base your changes on 0.89f.

I'm not dead yet, but I'm not doing much with Thrust, that is true.
