[Fluxus] port abuse

[Kassen]

Dear List,

I made some progress in my quest to make errors more like the "boss
warnings" in scrolling shooters (see
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JN-iy8507js )
By creating a port and registering it as the "current-error-port" I got the
error texts for this;

This took a lot of trial and error, because both (build-text) and
(build-type) lack a means of dealing with hard-returns and the normal
(display) way of dealing with port messages makes those hard to notice. Oh,
well, it works now (mostly, when there aren't any accidental loops between
ports that freeze the whole computer...).

Just wanted to share my excitement,
Kas.
