  With this new FlashROM stuff, would it be possible to hack to the ROM?  I know
that TI released the ROM upgrade with the "do not decompile" lisence, but who
knows.  There certinly is enough space to integrate things like putsprite and
huffman into ROM, thus eliminating libraries.  Of course you _would_ need the
hacked ROM and it would no longer be ROM independent.  Is there really a reason
to worry about ROM version dependency though?  Everyone will surly upgrade
quickly and new versions will only incorperate new things, not throw anything
out.
