X11R3 under Amiga Unix doesn't use the blitter because for most operations
this would be slower.  So the point above is moot.

We are looking into using the blitter for operations that it is suited
for.  There is no reason for us to use the blitter in operations that
would only run slower with it [`DUH' sound goes here].
