vectors aren't going to fly with me. you cannot do a decent knob with
vector graphics without significant computational overhead.

so you won't be able to resize if a host is using a backend that i
write. however, you will be able to use a different set of basic
pixmaps with the backend, so that if you are working on a small
monitor, things are more reasonably sized. this needs to apply to bit
depth too, though i'm not sure how much variation there is these days.

i plan to offer a set of pixmaps that work for me; others can cook up
small sets if they want. no recompilation would be needed to switch sets.

if you'd really like a vector-based backend, once the XML DTD settles,
i'd invite you to write one.
