It would take about 2 seconds to modify cgDisplay to do the
right thing for the NULL device. And all your other devices

Yes, make your own window routine, mg_window or whatever that does the
right thing for each type of graphics device. There will still be an IF
statement (or more likely a CASE statement), but it will only be in one
place.
