My problem with this is that tookit 1 may do "extern XrState* xrs" while 
toolkit 2 does "extern void* The_Drawing_State" while tookit 3 does "extern 
XrState* getXrState()" wile toolkit 4 does "extern XrState* 
getXrState(ToolkitObject*)". This does not help when you want to transfer 
useful drawing code from one to another.
