[cairo] output png fully-formatted png image to STDOUT or memory location

[Dominic Lachowicz]

There's cairo_surface_write_to_png_stream(). Call that, with your
"closure" = stdout, and your write function just a small wrapper
around fwrite().

Of course, you could write to a byte buffer in memory, and pass that
to an ImageMagick blob just as easily.
