Basically, I don't object.  On the other hand I wonder whether such a
low-level graphics library has to be maintained within FreeType.  Have
we ever done an evaluation of that?  Does such a simple graphics
library already exist elsewhere?  Is it only FreeType who needs this?
Otherwise it might be useful as a project to split it off to a
separate library, probably to be maintained in a separate git
repository.

    six weeks instead of three months.
