Seems I've got to qualify that remark somewhat - apart from some
commercial/closed-source implementations, there is also a open
source ANSI C one (implemented on top of OpenGL, so it isn't
quite the same as direct OpenGL hardware support, but it offers
the same API and might be a good target for a Haskell binding..):

Also, an OpenVG backend for Cairo, which seems to have so 
many backends that it might be the safest user-level choice?
