I've updated backart as well, and it seems to mostly work. I've attached
a patch that fixed two small issues:

1. sets the initial alpha to 1.0.
2. calls setColor:state: when the alpha changes. (When I tried to use
this I calculated ready-to-use values in setColor:..., ie.
red/green/blue/alpha 0-255, and this didn't work properly with alpha
changes. If I need to change this to calculate usable values later (ie.
in each function that needs the colors) I could do that, but I think
this is cleaner.)

There seems to be a few problems with color conversions and out-of-range
inputs to the color functions; I'll probably send a patch for that soon.

Since GSGState is keeping track of a bunch of state now, shouldn't it
have an implemented DPSinitgraphics that resets them? Having code to
reset the ctm, path and color in every other backend seems like a bad
idea.
