transforms in gdk?

[Mark <jamess1 wwnet com>]

Hello,
  Does any else think transforms would be usefull in gdk? I'm thinking
along the lines of:

gdk_gc_set_transform ()

Should be fairly easy to implement, with the exception of text and
images. I'm looking specifically for text tranformations, but I think in
general this would be usefull, especial when the hardware of the system
can accelerate these operations.
