[cairo] Re: cairo c++ bindings

[Leonard "paniq" Ritter]

yeah, i worked on them some more and offered to the gtkmm project, but
they have been making demands on the source code which i had no time
for. i am using my own cairo bindings productively, and i'm happy to
give those away for whoever wants to extend and maintain them.

they should be complete and useable, but maybe not in the form that is
widely accepted. since i have not much time on my hands, i cant do much
but offering them to you.

http://downloads.paniq.org/cairomm.tar.gz

the project builds with scons.

please keep me posted on your decisions.
