+MORE DETAILED DESCRIPTION:
+-------------------------------------------------------------------------------
+
+Evas? Canvas? What? OK.. you're baffled as to what that stuff is. Time to
+explain.
+
+A canvas is a high-level rendering engine. Instead of a program having to
+handle exposes or updates then redraw bit by bit (draw line, draw box, 
+paste image etc.) after having figured out what has changed and what need to
+be re-rendered - what data loaded in maps to what... then finally order the
+draw in the right way to optimize it - a canvas provides a high-level API to
+this kind of thing and handles all the smarts inside.
+
+The result is an application creates an Evas & attaches that evas to a window.
+Now it just creates objects - create an image object, a text object, a line
+object, a rectangle object etc. It just moves and resizes these objects around
+by calling routines in Evas - Evas handles redrawing, scaling, ordering the
+draws to acount for layers , clipping objects out that don't exist in the
+visible Evas area etc.
+
+This means less headache for tha application programmer. Now why do this as
+a whole new library? Well - because the library can render the Evas as fast
+as possible. It uses Imlib2 to do the grunt work of loading images - and
+beyond that it can currently use either imlib2 or OpenGL to render to the
+Evas - if you have decent hardware that's supported by OpenGL you will see
+in the area of 10-50 times (in future even higher) speedups in rendering
+using the GL backend instead of the Imlib2 one (even though Imlib2 is a
+highly optimized software rendering engine). The good thing here is that the
+application can choose what system to use. If that system isn't available or 
+Evas didn't compile with it, it will fall back to the nearest approximation 
+(it will ALWAYS have Imlib2 and X11 rendering backends - Imlib2 being able to
+actually alpha blend, but X11 keeping the rendering server-side with pixmaps
+and clip masks) so this means a highly optimized rendering subsystem to build
+more complex things ontop of.
