I guess I'm not sure how effectively we could do the xlib_glyphset sharing 
without allowing sharing all the way up to the API.

Having each cairo_t point at the cache it is using and exposing internal 
locking APIs for accessing those caches would allow us to implement shared 
caches where easy while still using separate caches for systems which make 
sharing hard.
