None yet but:

I know you said you didn't want to release the source code for Jave, but are you
able to release the source code for just the circle drawing object(s), so people
could try different algorithms for them but wouldn't affect the rest of the
program? I'd be happy to have a go at finding a new circle algorithm (although I
can't promise anything much) but it would take me a long time to write the rest
of the interface to enable me to do it. Just a thought - I perfectly understand
if you'd rather not.

Going back to your elipse/lemon:

      ,---------.     
   ,-'           '-.   
  /                 \      
 (                   )        
  \                 /      
   '-.           ,-'         
      '---------'   
How do people think this should look? If we can't improve this much, odds are an
algorithm wouldn't do much better.
      ,---"""---.     
   ,-'           '-.   
  /                 \      
 :                   :
  \                 /      
   '-.           ,-'         
      '--.___.--'   

Minor improvement imho, but still far from perfect
