[OpenJDK Rasterizer] Some questions

IMO, get the stuff out as soon as possible, so that others can work and
look at it.

I was implementing a AA rasterizer as part of GNU Classpath. I am the
only one hacking on this, so it should be easy for me to SCA it to
OpenJDK if feasible. It's a Java solution (I suppose your stuff is
native?) and so far I have no idea if it would fit anywhere in the
OpenJDK rasterizer architecture, but it could be a starting point. It's
quite flexible (can do oversampling at  variable rates) and relatively
fast for my taste. I am still tuning it though to have minimum memory
and cpu footprint.
