I just noticed that Draw was added to plugin/png. Is this a good idea?
Well, it is reuired if you want to experiment with .dll builds...

1. Image formats supported without X11 libs, for a server (this is a X only issue, since AFAIK one can call some GDI API from console windows applications). I haven't' investigated how this can be done, but and obvious solution would be to make an Image that is not dependent on Draw. So adding Draw seems a little counterintuitive. I doubt it is going to be easy to extract the X stuff from draw, so Image should be a better choice.
Ah, yes. We are discussing this for quite a long time (with Tom). We would absolutely liked X11 independent Draw. It is not so easy, unfortunately....
