The latter. `Tekenen' is the Dutch verb for drawing. libteken is a
library I wrote last year to emulate an xterm-like terminal with UTF-8.
I modified it, so it can be used with cons25 and 8-bit character sets.
Even though the name suggests it draws stuff, it doesn't. It only turns
a stream of bytes into character placement calls.

My new console driver also uses libteken to perform the terminal
emulation.
