I think there are other areas where we waste even more memory than that 
would account for - if we were worried about memory consumption at that 
level.  If someone wanted to go on a field day at the cost of our code 
readability then the X11SurfaceData object could lose about 20 bytes 
easily.  It could lose another 48 bytes just by turning the rarely used 
JDgaSurfaceInfo into a pointer, or perhaps make it an optional trailing 
part of the structure for devices that don't have DGA.

I'm not sure we need to worry about masking the pixel value at this 
point if we use the boolean approach...
