This won't quite do the trick for at least a couple of reasons:

	1) Geometric objects, (strokes and fills), are pre-composited
           using an intermediate surface which is currently hard-coded
           to use XrFormatA8.

	2) Eliminating alpha from the target surface affects more than
           antialiasing. It also prevents you from blending the
           surface with other surfaces, (eg. this is needed by the
           intermediate surfaces used in xrknockout).

So it looks like you'll need some other mechanism to get what you
want. Probably just a mechanism to control the depth of the
intermediate surface used for geometric objects.

Suggestions for an API.

Xr was a little confused.

I've fixed this now by replacing XrFormatRGB32 with XrFormatRGB24 and
updating the depth where necessary. It seems much happier now.

Feel free to update Xr now and give XrFormatRGB24 a try in
xrknockout. You won't get what you want, but at least it shouldn't
crash anymore.
