I've been looking at descriptions of how the Gimp works when painting, and it 
appears that they create a new image for every 'dab' -- every brush action -- 
do the brush stuff and then composite the image onto the current layer:
http://www.levien.com/gimp/brush-arch.html. So what I'm doing here seems to be 
actually pretty close.

I want to tackle undo/redo today -- first I'll try looking at how bitblt calls 
tilebitblt, but if that fails I'll go for the code from buildimage anyway. 
Or, if I get bored, I'll add line shapes, sizes and colors. Or perhaps 
implement the rest of the QPainter primitives. Or add icons for the tools. 
Or... :-)
