+ * Base class to encapsulate platform-specific bitmap allocations.
+ * Must track the pairings between the buffer allocated and the
+ * matching native context.
+ *
+ * TBD: in subclass destructors do we expect them to tear down
+ * all the bitmaps and contexts they've set up that haven't already
+ * been freed?
+ *
+ * For example, on Windows one might create an HBITMAP (using
+ * CreateDIBSection() with a BITMAPINFOHEADER) and call
+ * SkBitmap::installPixels() to point to the same pixels (ppvBits).
+ * Keeps a map from ppvBits -> HBITMAP.
+ *
+ * On Mac, we might allocate space, passing it to both bitmap.setPixels()
+ * and CGBitmapContextCreate(). Keeps a map from data -> CGContextRef.

Lets try adding the flush() virtual, and see where we would call it in
canvas.cpp

Done.

We may have to iterate more on this signature -- what if we request a certain
info and the "native" provider can't do it, but can do something else that might
be acceptable... (thinking of half-float, sRGB at the moment).

Still TODO.
