LibGGI is supposed to run on any hardware and to run fast. Embedded System
CPUs are often very limited.

No, it doesn't. I have written a voxel rendering engine in the last weeks
and I got a x2 speedup by going to fixedpoint integer arithmetics.
And no matter what data type you use - the problem can be solved with simple
additions which is always faster than multiplying - no matter what datatype.
Try it - write a linedrawer that uses a floatingpoint loop and compare it to
the LibGGI linedrawer.
