That's the easy part (sort of). You just multiply all points
with an apropriate rotation matrix and ignores one coordinate.
(okay - and then there is a lot of "what's on top" questions)

The only solution I have been able to come up with is to use a
two-step approach, where you have an intermediate buffer for
handling transparency issues. This could for example be a
SVG[1] file, since SVG handles transparency and is likely to
have a Postscript renderer. The only problem is that SVG seems
to be covered by at least two patents. And it shouldn't be
that difficult to write transparency handling code yourself.
