That's a good idea, but I like being able to generate any size of shadow on
the fly so that I don't have to worry about keeping my graphic files in
sync.  But the general idea of using the transform functions is a great one.
I think I'll combine your suggestion with what I already have and try
generating a "jaggy" ellipse four or eight times the required size and then
scaling it down with AA.
