Ok I was a tad bit confused. You originally said to recompile the RTL,
which I don't really want to do anyway, and I don't have the sources to
recompile. I'll just stick with the main stream version :)

People that use my console programs are just gonna have to have the gpm
library installed now aren't they :)
