That sounds like the way it's done in Skencil 0.7, too :-)

Having worked with neither, I can't say anything about their technical
advantages and disadvantages, but antigrain 2.5 is free software under
the GPL, if I'm not mistaken:

The older versions use the non-free "General Polygon Clipper (GPC)
License", though.
