One thing I'm missing here is how OSystem::initFormat() will
relate to OSystem::initSize().  In order to allocate a screen
buffer, both the screen size and the number of bytes per pixel
needs to be known.  Will these two methods be called in a particular
order?  Can the format be changed without re-initing the size?
In that case, is the contents of the screen buffer supposed to be
retained?
