Rectcopy does a framebuffer to framebuffer copy without the host cpu getting
too involved.  the command readsource() specifies where to get the pixels
from and frontbuffer(),backbuffer(), zdraw() specify where to put the pixels.
You can also zoom the pixels on certain machines.

Check the rectcopy man page for details...
