Looking through the gradients patch, it looks to me like there's a lot
of duplicated code between emit_linear_pattern and emit_radial_pattern
- everything after creating transparency group stream looks identical.
 I'd suggest moving it out into a shared function (something like
_cairo_pdf_write_transparency_group ()).  That way you also wont have
to #define TRANS_GROUP_DICTIONARY and the other #defines.  Did you
look into using cairo_hash_table_t for storing the function sets?

For the paint_with_alpha patch, it looks like the surface_alpha could
be a parameter to emit_pattern instead.  It's only set briefly while
calling emit_pattern and then set back to 1.0, so it's really better
done as a parameter.

Btw, from the whitespace in your patches, I'm guessing your editor is
set to display tabs as 4 spaces.  In that case the cairo source code
will look weird, but if you set it to 8 spaces it should be easy
enough to follow the cairo code convention (see CODING_STYLE).

Did you look into the surface serial number approach for reusing the images?

Keep up the good work,
Kristian
