/**
  This window provides double buffering and also the ability to draw the
  "overlay" which is another picture placed on top of the main image. The
  overlay is designed to be a rapidly-changing but simple graphic such as
  a mouse selection box. Fl_Overlay_Window uses the overlay
  planes provided by your graphics hardware if they are available.
  <P>If no hardware support is found the overlay is simulated by drawing
  directly into the on-screen copy of the double-buffered window, and
  "erased" by copying the backbuffer over it again.  This means the
  overlay will blink if you change the image in the window.
