Couldn't we delay the release a bit to switch to Cairo and solve these  
drawing issues.
Both -[NSImage compositeToPoint:] and -[NSImage drawInRect:] have  
serious issues in scaled/rotated coordinate space:
Gui+Cairo Current: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=20252
Gui+Cairo Patched: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=20253
Mac OS  X: http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/download.php?file_id=20254

Both xlib and art backends still work fine with the latest patch I  
posted (this morning, I just tested Gorm and TestDrawing example  
attached to the bug report).
I haven't no Windows install, so I don't know if the win backend is ok  
or not.
For those interested, the bug report is here: 
http://savannah.gnu.org/bugs/?27782

Agreed :-)
