Agreed.

The "compatibility" layer was basically the copy of a function,
a "wider" copy can surely help, possibly including a full
AGG distribution (since it's GPL) as part of gnash and
allowing user to specify wheter they want the installed
one (default if found) or the one shipped with gnash 
(default if not found).

Again, I agree.
