The MAC allows you to paint using transparent color.  This color
allows the background to show through.  I am not sure how it is implemented.

I want to do this
  Source bitmap    Destination bitmap     Result

     O               *z*z*z*z            *z*O*z*z
   / X \             *z*z*z*z            */*X*\*z
    / \              *z*z*z*z            *z/z\z*z

I assume that my source bitmap will have all white in the none body
parts and that I would get the following if I did a srccopy.

     O               *z*z*z*z            *  O   z
   / X \             *z*z*z*z            */ X \ z
    / \              *z*z*z*z            * / \  z
