yes, ouch, indeed. And that's just back end image manipulation in 
addition to front ends for PNG. And on top of core java classes which 
they are importing.

However that's only maybe 5% or less of the Batik project, which does so 
much more. Getting there though. If I have questions will post to the 
java400-L list.

But very rarely do I have a question that Google doesn't pull the answer 
from one of these lists.
