	The GPL license in it comes from that in grab.c (from which the
code is partly derived), otherwise I would have used BSDL :) I'm more than
happy to see it softened to LGPL. Strictly speaking I suppose formal
permission would have to come from the author of grab.c too, but since
that code is now in LGPL that shouldn't be a problem.
