At least for me, it makes very little sense now.

Yes, changing art_rgba_svp.c (which is included with rrdtool) seems to be
enough. I think it's easiest to:

1. Change checks on alpha ("if (alpha)" etc) to checks on
alphatab[alpha] (where appropriate, also make sure alpha <= 255 like,
alphatab[alpha < 255 ? alpha : 255]).

2. Change alphatab[]: currently it varies linearly between the alpha
component specified by the user and fully transparent. For example,
making it two-state gives it more of a bitmap look, while still
maintaining "blending" where appropriate.

Perhaps, I haven't checked, other functions would look nice as
alphatab as well: quadratic, exponential, ... . (Choosing parameters
might be useful as well, especially for the two-state cutoff.)

OK, nice. (The background issue as well?)
