HISTORY
 44.0  first public release
 44.1  a few optimiziations. the gadget size is limited to 440x440
       pixels, now. added missing code that makes the gadget box
       around the wheel transparent (aka grey bg instead of bg
       image) <Marc Savart>.
 44.2  now uses AllocRaster() to allocate memory for the mask, this
       will fix the drawing problem when p96 is used <reported by
       several users>.
 44.2b (dated 06-Aug-00) changed a single byte:) blitting to an
       interleaved bitmap didn't work correctly due to a wrong minterm.
 44.3  seems that using AllocRaster() to allocate memory for the mask
       wasn't a good idea. At least here, it always corrupts the 
       memorylist. Don't know why but using AllocVec() seems to
       fix the problem. A drawback of this is that the gadget will
       use chipram even when not necessary but I don't care as long
       as it works ;) Please report if you have any problems!
 44.3b included special version for 060 cpus (faster!). Thanks to
       Martin McKenzie for testing.
 44.4  never updated a program that often within a single week, but
       nobody is perfect;) the colortable passed to LoadRGB32()
       wasn't terminated by a NULL, this could have lead to wrong
       colors on <=8bit screens. there was a chance that WritePixelLine8/
       WritePixelArray was invoked with a width parameter of 0, I hope
       it didn't cause any trouble <Georg Steger>.
 44.5  improved and bugfixed dithering code. Thanks to Georg for his help.
 44.6  various optimiziations, which helped to remove the size limit of 
       the gadget. they also fix the inprecise working knob of the 68060
       version. added EraseRect() where it was missing <Harry Sintonen>.
