If the class is to be used by both Batik and FOP it should go into XML
Graphics Commons [1] and but for that, Batik should start using Commons
in the first place.

[1] http://xmlgraphics.apache.org/commons/

BTW, since you've created a substantial patch which even contains at
least one new file, would you please sign and submit an ICLA (more info, see
[2])? And would you please try to mimic the Java style that you find in
existing Java files in the future? You seem to be used to working with 2
space indents. We use 4 spaces (see [3]). No need to change the current
patch. I'll handle that. Just for future work. Thanks.

I hope I can look into your patch ASAP. One final question: Do you
expect ColorExt to be stable? If yes and you can submit the ICLA soon, I
can see to it that it goes into the XML Graphics Commons 1.1 release.
