Mmmh, at first glance they do mix well with the XFree way of managing 
regions.
So, as region management is critical and quite complex, a possible solution 
would be to port the XFree code (don't worry it's all low level), which could 
be used by both the BRegion class and app_server.
There aren't even licensing issues here.
What do you think about it?
