Xinu Visual Interface for the amd86/x86 PC Platform

This project is an extension to the Xinu Operating System, whose purpose is to provide of a visual interface to the OS, running on current PC platform. A second goal is be able to run Xinu OS on REAL notebooks and PCs (no just on QEMU, virtualbox, whatever emulator).

The system will consist of a few new drivers (vga, keyboard, mouse, vtty), and also a GUI layer, which should be able to make windows for different processes running on the visual interface.

Finally, we need a killer app to test everything. Maybe, that "hello world" application, which could have the role of "system testing" or "validation testing", is a virtual terminal where the Xinu Shell runs without any modification.
