[cairo] SVG & PS/EPS surfaces

[Tomas By]

Hi,

Well, this code is simplified. I have various `drawings' (ie the 
recording surfaces) that I combine to create the files. Then I also have 
a GUI app that displays the images, for use in development. All this was 
done in Guile Scheme.

It seems to me now that what I will have to do is (1) create the 
drawings in C, to produce both EPS files, and also PNG files, for use in 
the GUI, and then (2) have the GUI load the PNG file into an image 
surface, to display. A somewhat less optimal solution.
