	I need to do triangle fills VERY quickly as part of a 3D engine, so I was
wondering which library is fastest at doing these. I have downloaded
SVGAlib (although I haven't unzipped this yet - so if it doesn't even have
filling capabilities then that is why I haven't realised) and Allegro,
although it refuses to 'make', and no-one seems to be able to help me there
(although not through lack of trying), are these good enough? Basically,
which library should I download, or preferably which algorithms should I
use, to do super fast triangle fills to either a virtual buffer or to a
page other than the one being displayed on a video card (obviously I would
then also need page flipping abilities)?
