Our VDU drivers are pretty well decoupled from the actual rendering mechanism, so it won't be much work to provide a rendering backend for another API, such as GDI as you suggest, or possibly OpenGL to be more cross platform. @Richard Russell

I thought it was one of the limitations of GDI+ that it provided no equivalent to GDI's SetROP2 functionality.
