I got another request re: the shapers.  Does anyone think it would
be a _good_ _thing_ (tm) to remove all the GUI/render specific code
from the individual shapers by abstracting them out further, through
maybe a callback mechanism (for glyph fetch, index fetch, mapping request, etc)?
It would make porting the shapers easier, at least for me ;).

Regards.
