gdiplus is just a wrapper (mostly) around gdi32 APIs. IMHO spreding
around ideas about introducing a Wine dependency on cairo missing
the point of its usefulness.

Are there any plans to use cairo in the Wine gdiplus implementation
like mono does? Or would that need a winecairo.drv?

It probably isn't pixel-for-pixel identical to the Windows GDI.

Maybe use cairo there... an advanced GDI-like "DIB engine" is part of it.

Not that I know of.  But I don't think that's a problem.

I think a more interesting question is, when are we going to
buckle down and implement a DIB engine?

IIRC, the Mono gdiplus isn't so useful for us because it doesn't
deal with GDI handles the way we need.
That's one reason we have our own gdiplus now.
It might be more useful if you would look at fixing bugs
in our gdiplus rather than trying to wrap Mono's.
