antialiasing stuff

[Paul Spencer]

Would it make sense to change the meaning of the antialias tag in the  
style and change it to a 0-100 value instead of a true/false?  If you  
don't want to antialias a layer, then you wouldn't put ANTIALIAS  
FALSE, you'd just remove it altogether.  So in the case of using  
antialias as an integer value, it would make sense.
