These were originally created to better support alpha/transparency in slideshows, but vcl can do that these days. Mostly, removing these makes the path to better backends (e.g. GDI+) in vcl considerably easier. If regressions are detected, it would be better to improve vcl to perform better, or render better, since that will both fix the regression and improve other output from LibreOffice. Also remove various bits of vcl backend that were only being used by the canvas stuff.

Tools and Non-Build Scripts
Tools and scripts mostly not used during the build
This direction has a number of key pieces (?) that are used during the
build, or are simply generally useful. One example is bin/run.
This utility can be used to run the executables in this folder:
workdir/LinkTarget/Executable
Format of the usage is:
./bin/run application [parameters]|--list|--help
Use --list (same as -list or -l) to get the list of executables Use --help (same as -help or -h) to get this help
Another example is:
bin/find-german-comments <directory>
which will try to detect and extract all the German comments in a
given source code hierarchy / directory.
Please note that the associated issue tdf#39468 is now marked as RESOLVED/FIXED, so don't expect many German comments.
