You mean rendering libs pass in a bitmap of their surface and FT does 
the blending and correction itself? Hm. I thought this would be better 
done in some hardware-accelerated thingy in video ram because you'll 
have to do it the entire time and copy stuff back and forth. But it 
might be a nice helper function for inspiration.
