[cairo] Hello, Cairo! Re: Simple Win32 GDI example with Cairo wanted

[Asko Kauppi]

I would second this.

Although setting up a "Hello world" IDE project drawing the text using  
Cairo should not be a Big Deal, it certainly would help the initial  
step (instead of pressing 'new' in the IDE).

Especially since Windows is my 3rd platform, and I am using VC++ 2008  
Express only occasionally.  So, if anyone has a "Hello world" Cairo +  
VC++ 2008 project to spare, thanks!   :)

In fact, I would like to see such Hello World for VC++, GTK+ and OS X  
(XCode) all of them.
