Yes, that would be very wonderful to see someday.  It'd be nice to be able
to run Win32 command line apps once in a while without $DISPLAY set (7-zip
comes to mind), but without having to hack "config" back and forth.

It seems to me that once the initialization of X11 is delayed, it may be
possible to roll the frills of ttydrv into x11drv and do away with multiple
driver selection altogether.  (Keeping it simple?)
