OpenVG is an interesting path since there are also implementations for  
desktops. e.g. ShivaVG based on top of OpenGL. I think AmanithVG also  
provides GLES 1.x and 2.x backends but it's now a commercial product  
IIRC.

However, I still think Cairo could serve a better purpose because  
there are both OpenVG and OpenGL backends and the newer OpenGL backend  
is promising. i.e. we can have HW accelerated rendering on Cairo  
supported platforms, which is plenty nowadays. Would it be possible to  
evaluate the performance of the current Cairo -> OpenVG path vs. this  
dedicated OpenGL ES path on your OMAP board?
