FreeType should offer blending!  I think the API is there but needs to
be massaged.

FT_Bitmap_Convert could be the function that does blending on top of
its current narrow use.
FT_Bitmap structure has many wonderful fields like palette and
palette_mode already reserved

You mean rendering libs pass in a bitmap of their surface and FT does the blending and correction itself? Hm. I thought this would be better done in some hardware-accelerated thingy in video ram because you'll have to do it the entire time and copy stuff back and forth. But it might be a nice helper function for inspiration.
