I noticed that currently Firefox and Chrome draw things differently when given
a dx and dy that are not integers. Firefox uses bilinear filtering and chrome
uses nearest neighbor rounding the dx and dy values. This can be tested by
rendering an image at 0.0, 0.1, etc to 1.0. There should probably be a defined
operation that should occur or there should be a way to define which one the
user wants. I prefer nearest neighbor, but I know not everyone likes pixel
snapping.

Currently the only way to get similar behavior in both browsers is to wrap dx
and dy in Math.round before passing them to drawImage, but that gets rid of the
bilinear filtering that users might want.
