[cairo] 16-bit, HDR and colour

[Bill Spitzak]

Kodak Cineon and DPX files use that for storing colors. However the 10 
bit numbers are log light levels so you have to do some math to convert 
them to sRGB values used by the screen.

The linear light level is approximately pow(10,(x-685)/300). Thus the 
value 685 turns into 1.0. Note that this is linear light, not sRGB.
