Other Screen Savers.

I know people are already complaining about Kernel bloat (ie the
CONFIG_RANDOM debate). But would it be possible to add extra screen savers
into the kernel (as optional modules only). For example package the LOCKVC
1.9 (c) 1994,1995 by Matthias Straub. Or the twinkling stars from
FreeBSD.

Now i'm willing to write these myself if no one else is willing.
But I need a little push in the right direction so I know where to start.
I'll also need to ask someone questions about how to program this
correctly as possible cause I've never do any hacking in the kernel
source.
