Thanks Mark! I compiled it earlier and tried to get it running under 
Haiku, but I kept getting a crash on application start up. The cause of 
that might be an unrelated change I reverted in 
common/BasePrefsEntry.hpp (or something like that) that I had lingering 
for some reason. I vaguely recall the change I had made stopped some 
crashing, and that's probably what's causing it now. That said, I have 
another copy of that file in its "Haiku-fixed" state in a VirtualBox VM, 
and will 1) try to isolate that fix for Haiku builds only, 2) get that 
in the repository, and 3) check out the new renderer.

I think we may as well remove the old renderer from the standard build 
since it's only occasionally functional anyway. What do you think?
