Is this something that could eventually actually be integrated into the

either the existance of gdiplus.dll on non-xp systems or for gdi32.dll
on XP systems (I don't seem to have a separate gdiplus.dll on my XP SP2
machine, so I guess the new functionality is rolled into the main GDI DLL?)
It shouldn't be too hard to integrate into the backend (if you download
the package, you will note that it makes use of the win32 server anyway,
so it is integrated with the backend). configure shouldn't check for the
existence of gdiplus.dll (it's bundled with Windows XP), instead, it
should test for Windows XP. It also should be optional to turn on, as it
does have limitations as to what it can achieve, should be
theoretically slower than the GDI backend and is still very
proof-of-concept (it has numerous errors and still depends on GDI for
font handling). The reason for writing it then is actually correctness;
it seems able to handle a few things that GDI can't, such as sub-pixel
handling and I have it correctly displaying bitmaps (albeit not rotated).
