ah. that eases my mind, to be honest i was scared that we already  
have a kind of fork
and that the current source base is not moving all that fast because  
the windows version
is somehow dislocated from the oss version.

maybe i just misunderstood you however. are you talking about  
modifying the codebase to
use more generic drawing primitives that fit with both apis as  
opposed to making a new
library which merely provides the cdraw api with a cairo backend?  
that was my assumption,
but i may have been wrong :)
