Hi,
I've just committed a big patch that should make the usage
of shapefile renderer a thing of the past.

Basically all the specific optimizations it had went straight
into the shapefile data store or in the query hints, so that
every datastore can benefit from them (actually, any datastore
that can efficiently read the bbox of a geometry before
reading the geometry itself... it might be the case of H2...
isn't it?)

In particular a new hint, the ScreenMap, has been added, that
is atm used only by the shapefile store.
The ScreenMap is a tool to avoid painting over and over in the
same pixel super-tiny geometries that use only a part of it,
that specifically helps when you're so zoomed out that the
map just looks like an amorphous blob, whilst it does not
do anything at reasonable scales.

Please try out the improvements in your apps and let me know
how they work.

I'm officially switching GS to just use the streaming renderer
in the meantime (thought using a flag it's still possible to
enable the shapefile one)

Cheers
Andrea
