        Our implementation is a C# wrapper around the GDI+ C API (also
-       called the "GDI+ Flat API").  
+       called the <a

+       Flat API"</a>).

-       In Windows Mono uses the GDI+ library that is included
-       with the operating system, while in Unix we provide an
-       implementation of this API which uses Cairo to do the heavy
-       lifting. 
+       This means that the C# code is the same for Windows and Unix
+       systems.  The following graph explains the situation:
 
-       The implementation of GDI+ lives in mcs/class/System.Drawing
-       in the gdiplus directory and requires Cairo to be installed to
-       get the package built.

        The C# code that implement System.Drawing is the same for
        Windows and Unix builds.
