I was wondering, how do you plan to handle the different screen
dimensions at runtime? For some platforms this isn't needed (Maemo only
has N900), but for others this is a requirement (Android, WinCE,
iPhoneOS, ..).

I haven't seen much discussion towards this (though I haven't been on
IRC for some time), but I do think this is an important point.

The obvious solution to this is defining LCD_HEIGHT and LCD_WIDTH as
variables and not building plugins, but I'm not sure how flexible the
apps/ layer is w.r.t. to these changes.
