Comment 1 for bug 166720

This class is very old, I think even from libart, not
sodipodi. I don't think it's worthwhile to C++fy it just for
the hell of it. Instead the livarot/ contains the Path class
which it uses for everything. It's much richer and more
advanced. If you want to do something interesting with
paths, just use it.

As for float comparison, I think you are right. Feel free to
patch it (after the release).
