Sounds like a good idea - libdirectfb-util maybe? It might be a bit silly if
nearly DirectFB apps end up using it...

I've already got my own little "util" lib which has the blitting I talked

(Thinking about making a MNG video provider instead though - should be painless)
Anyone interested in the code?
