Pierre,

Thank you very much.
I'd like to speed up development of Windows CE port and bring fully
featured version with next release.
Currently, libgd is usable but this attach-to-buffer feature would make
it possible to use libgd as a replacement of GDI on Windows CE,
what I consider as a very important feature for this platform.

Looking forward this stuff and then will start playing and
committing to the CVS. Thanks!

Cheers
