Good question! I see no posts from "Fredrik Lundh" (PIL maintainer I
think) since a lot of time...

I don't wrap some functions because I don't need them! Those are only
"advanced" and normally I don't use them into my programs.

This is right. I tried to do it, but the problem it's that I need a
freetype (I think that it's the only one that can help me to do this)
python binding that wrote the text strings by me. And now I have no time
for take my code into my hands and end the wrap...
If some one want to end it... :)
