Thanks for the report.

Neither do I.

Yes, this is for testing only (20°), and it makes the Windows output
rendering really slow and produces big files. This is not the case for
Linux (PS) output, however, and should be neglected for now. I don't
know how it is on Mac OS X.

But, I should probably have been more explicit: what we really need to
test (also) is the "normal" FLTK behavior on all platforms.

  - Does it work with your application(s)?
  - Do you see any problems rendering images or anything else?
  - Does offscreen rendering work as before?
  - Do you feel that it is (substantially) slower than before?
    This might be possible, since all basic drawing functions are
    called through virtual methods now.
  - etc. etc.
  - and of course, printing functionality ;-)
