This example splits up each Bezier curve into x-monotone fragments.
Maybe CGAL's algorithm could be modified so that these splits are only
'virtual' and when the final polygon is constructed, only the
necessary subdivisions are performed?

We could use CGAL to implement some functions of 2Geom, but direct use
of CGAL in Inkscape would be extremely tedious.
