In aperture-circle-flash-with_hole.gbr, one of the holes should be square.
They are all drawn as circular in 4.x as well as in master, but now
correctly drawn with square hole in my branch.

In apertures_rotated_and_arcs_in_tracks.gbr, some weird artifacts show up
in 4.x in Linux, but I can't reproduce them in Windows. No artifacts in my
branch on GAL canvas.  This one I want to investigate some more.

As far as I can tell, negative objects work properly in legacy master
branch (not sure about 4.0), but they don't work properly in my branch
yet.  For negative images, I guess I will need to create a "backdrop"
object that the image objects can cut into, since in legacy it just uses
the wxDC background to cut away from.

Best,
Jon
