[boost] Re: Vector graphics: Incorporating more concepts

I was just thinking about Microsoft ClearType: it would be interesting 
to see the concept incorporated into a freely-available library.  I have 
been highly impressed with some of the results I've seen, and it seems 
that using the technique on general antialiasing of graphics would yield 
results worth further investigation.

Another factor worth investigating: is it possible to abstract and map 
the VectorAGG library primitives to hardware-accelerated routines, if 
available?  This obviously would be significant effort, but the results 
would probably be more applicable in the long term, as hardware 
acceleration becomes more and more popular.  What do you think?
