NAME
    ObtainGIRPort -- Set up a RastPort for a custom gadget. (V36)

SYNOPSIS
    RPort = ObtainGIRPort( GInfo )
    D0                     A0

    struct RastPort *ObtainGIRPort( struct GadgetInfo * );

FUNCTION
    Sets up a RastPort for use (only) by custom gadget hook routines.
    This function must be called EACH time a hook routine needing
    to perform gadget rendering is called, and must be accompanied
    by a corresponding call to ReleaseGIRPort().

    Note that if a hook function passes you a RastPort pointer,
    e.g., GM_RENDER, you needn't call ObtainGIRPort() in that case.

INPUTS
    A pointer to a GadgetInfo structure, as passed to each custom
    gadget hook function.

RESULT
    A pointer to a RastPort that may be used for gadget rendering.
    This pointer may be NULL, in which case you should do no rendering.
    You may (optionally) pass a null return value to ReleaseGIRPort().
