I don't think the interface to the library currently lets you add
drawing to the table, but that would be a good addition.

I've added a new kind of region --- a "background region" --- that
doesn't repond to clicks, but that supports a background-painting
callback.

The changed files for plt/collects/games/cards are committed in CVS,
and also here:

Actually, I'm not sure how you'd override event handling in the current
interface. `make-table' gives you an instance without any control over
the instantiated class. In any case, maybe the above change willtake
care of things.
