we thought about writing a library that implements more advanced
drawing primitives in a DirectFB-compatible fashion but we will most
certainly don't include this functionality in the core library. We
haven't put any work into this yet so we are open for suggestions and
contributions.

The GDK port also needs a set of drawing routines to become complete.
We could use the mi code from the The Open Group just like the linuxfb
backend does, but it doesn't include any bezier or spline functions.
It would be a start however. I don't think I'll find the time to hack
on this in the near future, so if anyone is interested in this project,
please raise your hand.



Salut, Sven
