Thanks Gerdus,

I just got it completed.  I actually used a mix of things.

I used the Windows CE functions to do the usual buffered output bit:
* Create compatible DC
* Create compatible bitmap
* SelectObject - dc, bitmap
* Create Cairo Win32 Surface using compatible DC
* Create Cairo context with above surface
*
* ... RENDER ...
*
* For animation - in a Loop {
    BitBlt from compatible DC to real DC
}
* Clear all

It works great!  Thanks for your help.

Cheers,
Mohit.
