I have rebuild the package with support for gtkgd.
I have tried to build also the agg backend, but I can't find the source package
for this library! I've found two version: one from http://antigrain.com and
another from scipy cvs, but seems that there are some missing headers when I
compile the backend.
I have also packaged the gdmodule from
http://newcenturycomputers.net/projects/gdmodule.html and the ttfquery module
from http://sourceforge.net/projects/ttfquery/, all the debs are on
http://anakonda.altervista.org/debian/

I can write some documentation about debian packages required, once I've tested
them, but only for the next weekend, bye
