[cairo] Svg optimisation ?

[Dominic Lachowicz]

With the development version of cairo, you can use a "meta" surface to
capture and replay your drawing commands. I believe that there is a
trick you can do with older versions of cairo to achieve the same
effect. I believe it involves creating a PDF surface with a NULL
output stream.
