Proposing a simple-cairo-client for wayland-demos

[Bill Spitzak]

I really like having an example that is everything in one file, like 
this. Please keep this maintained and make sure it is easy for anybody 
learning Wayland to find it.

Further enhancements might be to actually do something with events (just 
printing "click at x,y" and so on to stdout). Obviously the program 
would get bigger but it would likely lead to all the stuff people 
writing toolkits will need to get started.
