It depends what stuff has to be written ^_^, for a BTransform class I
already have everything written, since I needed it for my SVG viewer. For
anti-aliasing, unless there is hardware support for, we have to write all
primitive drawing functions, which is quite some work (I already have the
anti-aliased StrokeLine function done :P). For gradients, a complete API has
to be though out, which will have to replace (or work next to) patterns.
