 * Right now gBitFormat is part of common/scaler.cpp; we might want to move it to common/system.cpp, or replace it with something better. No hasty changes here, please, make sure you understand how it is used right now before messing with it ;-)
 * OSystem::RGBToColor and OSystem::colorToRGB are very flexible, but cause a bottleneck: Using these virtual methods to convert lots of pixels in one go is sloooooow. Hence consider removing these and related function in favor of a new API with which client code can query the backend for a description of the pixel format (maybe similar in spirt to [http://www.libsdl.org/cgi/docwiki.cgi/SDL_5fPixelFormat SDL_PixelFormat], but maybe we can also reuse / extend a variant of gBitFormat). This is in particular useful for the new GUI code which wants to do things like color fading, and has to process a huge number of pixels. Of course, we must still accomodate for backends that only offer palette mode!
-=== Potential ports ===
-* MS DOS port using [http://www.talula.demon.co.uk/allegro/ Allegro] and [http://www.delorie.com/djgpp/ DJGPP] ?
-* [http://withintent.biz/ Intent] port (already done by David Given, merge?)
-* [http://digita.mame.net/reviews.htm Digita OS port]? (play games on a select few digital cameras...)
-* XBox port(s) exist, but can not be legally distributed, since the use the XDK, which is incompatible with the GPL. [http://openxdk.sourceforge.net/ OpenXDK] lacks C++ support, though has SDL.
-=== X11 backend ===
-* Add frills used by SDL backend like graphic filters usage and CD audio

 * Improve the code in <code>backends/platform/wince/CEScaler.cpp</code>, it could be a lot faster with some simple changes.
-* Cleanup <code>missing.cpp</code>, see [https://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1882942&group_id=37116&atid=418822 Patch #1882942].
