Comment(by wenzeslaus):

 So let's start brainstorming about rendering.

 Currently used options:
  * wxGUI renders to uncompressed PPM and uses g.pnmcomp
   * Glynn suggested that composition should be done by wxGUI
 ([http://lists.osgeo.org/pipermail/grass-dev/2012-August/059188.html
 link])
   * can PIL be used? (currently only Cartographic Composer preview depends
 on it)
  * wxWidgets xganim reads a raster file directly and stores data in
 wxImage
   * it is fast in C++ but to do the same in Python you have to use some
 numpy magic to make it at least comparably fast (Anna can tell more)
   * G_fatal_error() and exit() are still here
   * in order to provide full drawing capabilities code from d.* modules
 have to be moved to library
