Wouldn't be too hard to add, but I don't know that it's very
interesting. Also, it wouldn't be able to record hardware mouse
pointer and xv overlays so it might look kinda silly. BTW if anyone
feels like implementing this, supporting fbcon too would be cool so it
could be used e.g. for recording quake demos. :)
