/** CFbsRasterizer represents the system's rasterizer that has the ability to generate 
standard pixel data from data stored in proprietary formats. 

Multiple formats of proprietary data may be supported by the rasterizer.  Formats are 
identified by UID.  Support for formats is platform-specific and controlled 
by the platform vendor.  The OS does not mandate that the system's rasterizer must 
support any specific data formats.

CFbsRasterizer is used solely by the Font & Bitmap Server component to simulate pixel 
access to extended bitmaps, i.e. bitmaps created using CFbsBitmap::CreateExtendedBitmap().  
CFbsRasterizer is not intended for use by applications.

CFbsRasterizer is intended to be implemented by licensees through derivation from the 
abstract base class.  If a licensee wishes to provide a rasterizer implementation, they 
should create a rasterizer dll that is exported as "fbsrasterizer.dll" and include it in 
their ROM. Note that a stub rasterizer is exported to "fbsrasterizer.dll" and is loaded
by the Font & Bitmap server by default to prevent a rogue dll being loaded in the rasterizer's
place from the C:\ drive or removable media. Licensees can override this by using the 
following build option:
-DFBSRASTERIZER_DLL <rasterizer_dll_name>
where <rasterizer_dll_name> is the name of the licensee rasterizer dll. 
 
CFbsRasterizer will be instantiated in client threads that use the Font & Bitmap Server, 
including the Window Server's main thread.  Therefore the implementation of the rasterizer 
must be robust.  Rasterizer functions should never lead to process termination, even 
when invalid proprietary data is passed in.  Instances of CFbsRasterizer are not intended 
to be shared between threads.

The CFbsRasterizer interface has been designed to allow the implementation to optimise 
certain access patterns for performance.  For example, the implementation might prepare 
for sequential access to a region by rasterizing the entire region inside a private scratch 
buffer.  A further opportunity would be to take advantage of the immutability of extended 
bitmaps by maintaining rasterized scratch buffers for the most recently used bitmaps.
