I just did a double check on this matter.. It seems that it isn't possible
to adjust contrast by simply altering contrast value in ram but you have
to use traps (I just checked the bcontrast-source and RTFM'd fargo
documents). (Or is it?) Anyway, it's quite easy to read that value from
5340h.. :) (Or what the hell is that address. At least it's found when
pressing F5 in hexdump. The first value at line 5340)

If this ever becomes a somekind of contrast-standard, it might be
then useful to store those bytes as a part of graylib.
