As nice as another hardware acceleration thingy would be,
I don't think it can justified, maintenance-wise.

Mark's suggestion of standardising on OpenGL is probably best,
but I suspect there are a few Quartz hooks that we will still need.


Note there is also a patch for CoreVideo somewhere in Trac.
I never applied it for the same maintenance reason
(and, at the time, 10.4 was good enough for me)
