+Here's an effort to document some of the academic work that was
+referenced during the implementation of cairo. It is presented in the
+context of operations as they would be performed by either
+cairo_stroke() or cairo_fill():
+
+Given a Bézier path, approximate it with line segments:
+
+	The deCasteljau algorithm
+	"Outillages methodes calcul", P de Casteljau, technical
+	report, - Andre Citroen Automobiles SA, Paris, 1959
+
+	That technical report might be "hard" to find, but fortunately
+	this algorithm will be described in any reasonable textbook on
+	computational geometry. Two that have been recommended by
+	cairo contributors are:
+
+	"Computational Geometry, Algorithms and Applications", M. de
+	Berg, M. van Kreveld, M. Overmars, M. Schwarzkopf;
+	Springer-Verlag, ISBN: 3-540-65620-0.
+
+	"Computational Geometry in C (Second Edition)", Joseph
+	O'Rourke, Cambridge University Press, ISBN 0521640105.
+
+Then, if stroking, construct a polygonal representation of the pen
+approximating a circle (if filling skip three steps):
+
+	"Good approximation of circles by curvature-continuous Bezier
+	curves", Tor Dokken and Morten Daehlen, Computer Aided
+	Geometric Design 8 (1990) 22-41.
+
+Add points to that pen based on the initial/final path faces and take
+the convex hull:
+
+	Convex hull algorithm
+
+	[Again, see your favorite computational geometry
+	textbook. Should cite the name of the algorithm cairo uses
+	here, if it has a name.]
+
+Now, "convolve" the "tracing" of the pen with the tracing of the path:
+
+	"A Kinetic Framework for Computational Geometry", Leonidas
+        J. Guibas, Lyle Ramshaw, and Jorge Stolfi, Proceedings of the
+        24th IEEE Annual Symposium on Foundations of Computer Science
+        (FOCS), November 1983, 100-111.
+
+The result of the convolution is a polygon that must be filled. A fill
+operations begins here. We use a very conventional Bentley-Ottmann
+pass for computing the intersections, informed by some hints on robust
+implementation courtesy of John Hobby:
+
+	John D. Hobby, Practical Segment Intersection with Finite
+	Precision Output, Computation Geometry Theory and
+	Applications, 13(4), 1999.
+
+	http://cm.bell-labs.com/who/hobby/93_2-27.pdf
+
+Hobby's primary contribution in that paper is his "tolerance square"
+algorithm for robustness against edges being "bent" due to restricting
+intersection coordinates to the grid available by finite-precision
+arithmetic. This is one algorithm we have not implemented yet.
+
+We use a data-structure called Skiplists in the our implementation
+of Bentley-Ottmann:
+
+	W. Pugh, Skip Lists: a Probabilistic Alternative to Balanced Trees,
+	Communications of the ACM, vol. 33, no. 6, pp.668-676, 1990.
+
+	http://citeseer.ist.psu.edu/pugh90skip.html
+
+The random number generator used in our skip list implementation is a
+very small generator by Hars and Petruska.  The generator is based on
+an invertable function on Z_{2^32} with full period and is described
+in
+
+	Hars L. and Petruska G.,
+	``Pseudorandom Recursions: Small and Fast Pseurodandom
+	  Number Generators for Embedded Applications'',
+	Hindawi Publishing Corporation
+	EURASIP Journal on Embedded Systems
+	Volume 2007, Article ID 98417, 13 pages
+	doi:10.1155/2007/98417

+
+From the result of the intersection-finding pass, we are currently
+computing a tessellation of trapezoids, (the exact manner is
+undergoing some work right now with some important speedup), but we
+may want to rasterize directly from those edges at some point.
+
+Given the set of tessellated trapezoids, we currently execute a
+straightforward, (and slow), point-sampled rasterization, (and
+currently with a near-pessimal regular 15x17 grid).
+
+We've now computed a mask which gets fed along with the source and
+destination into cairo's fundamental rendering equation. The most
+basic form of this equation is:
+
+	destination = (source IN mask) OP destination
+
+with the restriction that no part of the destination outside the
+current clip region is affected. In this equation, IN refers to the
+Porter-Duff "in" operation, while OP refers to a any user-selected
+Porter-Duff operator:
