We're not releasing any time soon yet... If Bart doesn't do this someone else 
needs to pick it up. Just marking the affected tiles dirty and exposing that 
as a map of dirty rects to the merge visitor and the layers isn't _hard_, it 
just needs to be done, and it would be quicker if someone who already knows 
the tile backend does it.
