The V36 graphics.library supports the new genlock capabilities of the
enhanced Denise chip in PAL or NTSC modes.  Any color registers may be
chosen as controlling video overlay (COLORKEY).  A single bitplane may be
chosen to control video overlay as well (BITPLANEKEY). The border areas
surrounding the active display window may also be set to be opaque or
transparent.

The ECS genlock features are enabled on a ViewPort by ViewPort basis.

   Warning:
   --------
   Genlock has been designed to work with NTSC and PAL modes only.
   Genlock and 31 KHz programmable scan rates are not compatible modes.
