Thanks for all the feedback, I'll probably take a look at the bugs &
check them. However given that the license is incompatible, it doesn't
seem like there is much point in continuing with this, as it's not
possible for it to be merged. Unfortunately I don't think my ARM ASM
skills are up to recreating these from scratch.

Is the Pixman project GPL2? I thought it was all MIT - is that an
upcoming change?
