That sounds awesome but I need something that is possible even with cairo 1.4.
Looking at the insides of cairo it looked like per vertex colors should be
do-able but is not exposed by the API in any way. I think you were

I was just thinking maybe I could set the source to a 2x2 pixel surface warped
to fit each quad. That sounds painfully slow though.
