I had a quick look at that website. It is really an astounding piece
of software (both the program and the drawing backend). I would love
to see Gash with the Xara backend.

Now, I know practically nothing about the Gnash or Xara internals and
I think it all depends whether Xara can draw Flash-style splines.
However, Xara is written in C++ too and has a clean "GDrawIntf"
subsystem so it seems well suited to be used in other projects.

Anyhow, could someone of the Gnash developers put a statement, please?
