caca_set_bitmap_palette() could definitely be implemented with
Perl arrays being copied to C arrays.  The wrappers for the polyline 
functions already do something like this, so it wouldn't be hard 
to implement.

However, I would feel like a bad coder if I didn't implement some 
kind of array sharing mechanism for caca_draw_bitmap().

I will take you up on your offer.  I've been meaning to try out subversion,
and this'll give me a good chance.  However, since I'm a subversion n00b,
I don't feel confident about importing my sources into your repository.  
I would hate to mess things up, so I would like you to do that part.  
Just take the tarball that came in the other email and import those 
files where you think it's appropriate.  Once that's done, I should be
fine.


PS: Being ignorant in the ways of SVN, I wonder if you need any additional
    information from me in order to give me commit access.  
    If so, let me know.
