  I'm not really that concerned about either the D3D or the Xbox backends.

  If AGG supported an OpenGL driver, then that could work instead of
using Cairo. I'm not really sure if we'd use OpenGL if the 2D backend is
the same level of quality without needing hardware acceleration.

  The AGG 2.4 release has a library, and so do the binary packages for
Fedora and Ubuntu, so it's not all header files.
