...I'd also like to chime in here that the ATSUI patch is really  
nice, and it would be a great help to me if it were fixed up for  
cvs:  I've basically halted most of my conversion of aqua tk to  
coregraphics n'friends until such a time...the reason for that is  
that I do have replacements for the copybits() stuff, but in  
quickdraw things tend to go upside down now and again, whereas if the  
atsui patch is in, we can probably do without the upside-down  
transformations necessary when converting between gworlds and  
cgcontext's...

...sadly, ben seems to be the only one guts-y enough to tackle this :-(
