Hi list,

with help from Adam Treat, Eli Fidler, Yong Li and Genevieve Mak, I've 
implemented a graphics backend for native OpenVG. Now is (finally) the time to 
upstream that stuff, and for now I've started with two patches:
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33403
https://bugs.webkit.org/show_bug.cgi?id=33405

More will follow as the preceding ones are being landed.
It's still missing out on a couple of minor points - e.g. pattern fills for 
GraphicsContext, handling of system fonts, oh, and a build system for public 
demonstration - but apart from that, the backend is pretty functional and 
cross-platform by now, without adding much overhead.

I hope you like it, and hopefully I can also get plenty of reviews and general 
advice :)

Thanks, cheers,
  Jakob
