The future of Mac OS X port

Implement Mac OS X Canvas, using Core Graphics

Context: Cairo does use Carbon, and the future of Carbon is compromised with the next coming version of Mac OS X. Second, there is a work in progress to implement a new layout, and get rid of current layout thing in vcl. The name of the cws to be analyzed is layoutdialogs, and is based on DEV300 Master work space.

Todo: marry the new layout engine and implement the missing canvas, to obtain a real rendering on Mac OS X.

Work in Progress: Thorsten Behrens proposed an application on Education Project Effort page: Write a new Canvas

Expected result: antialiasing and OpenGL transitions become available
