We might switch to Cairo instead of libart_gpl if that becomes a lot faster than it is. Scribus running with Cairo is a little slower than now but the API and some functions are already nicer. Cairo is freedesktop.org but is, I guess, slightly more gnome oriented perhaps, however so is libart_gpl. Nothing else really. Perhaps some common libs but I cant see any for now.
