Antigrain has actually been mentioned as a backend option before, but without
anybody really doing anything, until now! It does seem to be a very nice
renderer, and if the rumors about the speed is true i'm looking forward to see
a  working gnash backend :)

It sounds like you already got a semi-working backend working, is this correct?
Or have you "just" tested Antigrain with typical SWF output? If you got some
backend-code, it would be great to have it in CVS!
