+ to determine an appropriate line pitch for the virtual resolution

+ RGB ordering and masks can be fixed after calling cfbScreenInit()
+ (#1636, Marc La France).
+1137. Fix the saving and restoring of PSZ #define in cfb??.h headers,
+ add copyright notice to them, and get right Imakefile to include
+ them in the link kit (#1636, Marc La France).
+1136. Fix oversight in 1133 (#1636, Marc La France).
+1135. Some include file fixes (#1539, Marc La France).

+1134. Move framebuffer ModuleInit funtions into separate files (#1475,
+ Marc La France).
+1133. Move the following GC privates to the GC structure proper:
