My weak preference would be to do this as a mixin factorint out the
renderer from the GUI stuff.  If this is only marginally harder, it
makes it easier down the road if someone wants to mixin a different
renderer from agg, or if the wx renderer ever improces sufficiently to
make it usable.  But if this seems like a lot more work, I am not
averse to simply deprecating the wx renderer, though factoring
everything to make mixing in a different renderer later will still be
useful.  In the end, whatever you decide will be fine.

OK, now that we have missed the debian freeze, the pressure to get
something out sooner is lessened, do we'll just work on getting it
right.
