A major downside to GDI+ from my point of view is that it appears that  
even the "Flat" API is actually in C++ (eg., GdipCreatePath takes a  
GpPath **, where GpPath is a class). It's also not supported in mingw32  
yet. There is a patch out there:

but Danny Smith is clearly not happy with it as it stands.
