 - cropping and padding (do at OS level, but provide a core call to set it up and configure).
 - OSD at window resolution instead of video res (secondary vout channel)
 - a OSD needs to be bound to a vout stream (no subs on goom vout)
 - Use OS native calls where appropriate, with 'C' fallbacks. (OpenGL, Quartz, DirectX already has many of the funtionalities we seek and sometimes they are a lot faster too).
