Hmm, I didn't particularly like the look of this suggested api, and was
hoping that either the eagle-eyed and API maestro, Carl, would have picked
up on this and complained.. I was also hoping that Adrian would have
pointed out how the existing mime-data could be extended for this use
case, and so we therefore have an existing paradigm in which to work...

This might be a bit of an abuse of mime-data, but I was thinking along the
lines of

  cairo_surface_set_mime_data (surface, "x-data/filename",
                               "/path/to/executable.jpg", strlen("..."),
                               NULL, NULL);

Ideas?
