I don't have any un-checked-in changes for it, but I've been working
towards it, understanding, refactoring and cleaning up code.
It's not an easy project, because there's a lot of code to understand and
update: window resize events, window stretching and zooming, mouse, the D3D
back buffer, and the D3D backing image.
I still intend to implement it soon. But I'm definitely too busy this week.

I forgot to check in util.hpp; I had been wondering why I had a spare file.
I almost deleted it, thinking it was unused!
