Before another one comes up with it now. Yes, you could write your
own blitting method for this purpose. But on the on hand it's pretty
tough to write it. (Or wouldn't the SDL folks provide it in their renderer,
if it was easy to implement?) And on the other hand the resulting
blitting method would be a very slow one. 

Can someone think of an alternative solution for the editor?
