Except that's based on top of Cairo, whereas ours should be based on
gdi32.
But cairo has a win32 backend. So I think we can use mono-libgdiplus.
Considering that gdiplus has a very poor performance under Windows because
it doesn't have a dedicated DDI (device driver interface), adding gdiplus
that uses a completely different backend into Wine would have even more
performance related problems.
How is that possible to mention gdiplus at all, if even so basic functionality
as a DIB engine still is not implemented?
Besides, my personal opinion is that implementing gdiplus is out of scope
of the Wine project, just like MFC and similar libraries.
