I think getting Skia working in Haiku would be a better idea. As you
said we have Google making sure the Skia backend in WebKit is good and
fast, plus this is one more piece we would need for our own Chromium
port some day. If Firefox Azure also had a Skia backend then even
better: all the bases are covered.
You may want to do some searching though as aljen (Artur Wyszynski)
did some work to port Skia to Haiku some time ago while investigating
a Chrome port. I have an email from him with a link to his
work-in-progress from 2009 though the link is now dead. I could see if
I have the download on my Haiku machine though. Or maybe Artur is
listening here and can provide any updated code for his Skia port?
