Just FYI, the VideoScaler class provides some of this already.  You
can get a pointer to video RAM and tweak the pixel values directly.
Be warned though that it may take some experiementation to get it to
do what you want, and as I understand it they don't really consider
this part of the Cascade API (so it won't necessarily work the same
way on future models).
