It' certainly not easy to do it in hardware... I found some IOKit which
seems to encapsulate 2d-acceleration, but I don't know if its possible to
use them from a normal application, or if should only be accessed via the
CoreGraphics framework.

Documentation is _horrible_ on Mac OS X... But with some luck, i guess it
could work...
