When running on a CyberGFX or Picasso96 system, some programs (like WordWorth5)
try to print out rastport dumps of rastports having a CGFX chunky bitmap.
Unfortunately, the printer.device does only support planar bitmaps.

So PrinterCGFXPatch patches the printer.device in such a way, that chunky
bitmaps are converted to planar ones before printing. 

This helps at least WordWorth5 to be able to print colors again.
