Why don't you simply use a surface and then compose it
onto the target drawable?

BTW: Comparing GL with Cairo is like comparing apples
with oranges ...  Except for point/path animations the
animations work pretty well on a level above cairo. 
But at some point in the future one probably has to
pass additional information to the backends.
