GDI+ backend update

[Christopher Armstrong]

I know this is a bit late from the date of the package below, but for 
some reason this mailing list seems to bounce alot of my messages...

I've got some updates to the GDI+ backend stuff I've been working on 
over the past 6 months (on and off). Mostly improvements with the 
compositing engine (it seems to clip properly now) and images, which 
should be properly byte-swapped for both 32bit and 24bit.

Find a copy at:

Remember that you will need a copy of gdipluswrappers and gdiplus.dll. 
The latter can be obtained from Microsoft's web site (only if you're not 
running Windows XP), and gdipluswrappers can be found at:

http://members.optusnet.com.au/~smokey27/gdiplus-wrappers-20051201.tar.bz2

(I have the sinking suspicion that the version of gdipluswrappers above 
won't work with the gdiplus-back specified above. If it doesn't, I'll 
post an update or a patch).

I welcome any comments or suggestions; contact me on the email address 
below. From here, I need to add font support for GDI+ (it still uses 
GDI), and work out how to use the TransparentBlt function with 
transformations so that we can do rotated composites, and it should be 
mostly complete.

Cheers
