I don't think this can be true because CLIM does not know the primitives
that I am using to draw the bitmap (I am using some Windows 3.0 calls). 
With-output-as-presentation should only work with accepted drawing
primitives shouldn't it?  My guess is that I have to get CLIM to know about
the bitmap -- its position, extent, and how it can be reproduced (in case
of movement).
