I've updated cairo-trace to wrap the vector backends (but not yet added
the replay support).

I've also added a script to simplify tracing,
$ ./cairo-trace /path/to/program
will print the cairo calls to stdout and save a trace file
in ./program.$pid. Note that this script has hard-coded relative paths,
so it needs to be run from the cairo-trace build directory. (This
utility will mature eventually!)

Hope this helps.
