If anyone does want to implement this it would make a nice addition to
meterbridge - the CVS version can (optionally) use OpenGL for rendering
anyway, and it would be a logical place to put it.

A side note; the reson for using OpenGL is that it massivly reduces the
CPU load (if you have hardware acceleration working), and allows windows
full of meters to be scaled, which is pretty useful.
