[cairo] Newbie asks questions

[Andrew Johnson]

Kylix hrm? Well I cannot answer the other questions, given the other
aspects I am not sure given your time frame its a viable solution to
learn a new api and port it etc etc..

Especially as while afaik no one has written any Object Pascal headers,
it should be relatively easy to do a straight header translation if you
need to allow using cairo in your apps. One thing to look into is the
FreePascal utility h2pas, which allows converting about 85% of any c
library header into a fairly straightforward pascal header. From there
you can manually clean it up relatively quickly and depending on needs
put together an OO framework to use it.
