We're using the BufferedImage implementation from GNU Classpath. It's the only
(and thus best ;) free software implementation of BufferedImage AFAIK.
Unfortuantely, it doesn't implement createGraphics() yet.

Given that kaffe has got a working AWT implementation, it should be possible to
implement createGraphics by writing a Graphics2D wrapper around kaffe's
Graphics.

cheers,
