I think what he is saying is that he's happy if you take and check it
in, but he doesn't want to take any responsibility for maintaining such
a thing.
AFAIR there are two good options - cairo or the new cross-platform
rendering thing that Mozilla is producing.
The Mozilla thing is Azure. It's really not intended to be a proper
general purpose drawing library. It is specifically constructed to mesh
well with the browser's internal drawing model.
Getting the Direct2D backend copied from Mozilla into Cairo would, I
suspect, be the best bet.
And it would allow us to rationalise our own backends.
But it's a major chunk of work. And open-source Win32 hackers are in
short supply.
Might make a good Google Summer-of-code project??
