Then I agree that Antigrain is probably the best reference code 
for the antialiased renderer, as its code is small, very complete 
(ttf/gsv/raster fonts, top quality antialiasing, etc) and 
reasonably fast.

IMO the better-C standard library runtime should be provided to 
the developer in charge of developing that rasterizer.
