Please do me a favour and implement the renderer in an reentrant way,
i.e. no global variables (e.g. put all variables which are "global" in
a "handle" struct which is then passed around, e.g. like libpam was
implemented). This helps a lot with later multithreading and helps
with debugging the code.
