Suggestion for improving backend configuration...

[Gregory Casamento]

Guys, currently the code which configures the backend graphics context
looks like this:

  /* What backend context? */
  if ([defs stringForKey: @"GSContext"])
    context = [defs stringForKey: @"GSContext"];

  if ([context isEqual: @"xdps"])
    contextClass = NSClassFromString(@"NSDPSContext");
  else if ([context isEqual: @"art"])
    contextClass = NSClassFromString(@"ARTContext");
  else if ([context isEqual: @"winlib"])
    contextClass = NSClassFromString(@"WIN32Context");
   else if ([context isEqual: @"cairo"])
    contextClass = NSClassFromString(@"CairoContext");
 else
    contextClass = NSClassFromString(@"XGContext");

I think that this information should come from the backend bundles
plist if possible.  This way it's possible to create a backend without
needing to modify backend code directly.

Any thoughts?

Later, GC
