That's scheduled for the upcoming releases. However I must admit that from the benchmarks I've done personally (some of which I posted here), I am a bit disappointed with its performance so far.

If someone's willing to do the work, it can certainly be used to some extent. AFAIK, their engine isn't quite a drop-in replacement though. It'd be interesting to see it benchmarked against some other libraries like Sun's Java2D, and AGG (http://www.antigrain.com/), though. /Sven
