Since Aurora has a pluggable backend for rendering I feel that
it will be prudent to use the low-level API's that are best

following list represents
System 2D API / 3D API
Linux X11 / OpenGL 4.3
Android Canvas / OpenGL ES 3.0
OSX Quartz2D / OpenGL 4.3
iOS Quartz2D / OpenGL ES 3.0
Windows Direct2D / Direct3D 11
Windows RT Direct2D / Direct3D 11
I'm not really sold on the 2D API not written on top of the 3D
API.
Either way, I don't think X11 should be used instead of OpenGL.
I think you should target D3D9 instead of D3D11 on Windows.
