To Pekka Paalanen: I'm quite new at graphical programming and I think I'd  
rather just use straight Cairo to avoid headaches. Thank you for the link  
to that email, though, it was quite helpful. =)

To Jason Ekstrand: In this email:  
http://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/wayland-devel/2010-November/000238.html  
Høgsberg instead suggests to use the XML protocol instead of generating  
bindings directly to the C code. Why did you take the route you did?

Also, my opinion is rather irrelevant because I'm certainly not a Haskell  
guru and couldn't possibly have anything to contribute! Yes, once you post  
the Java bindings on GitHub, I would very much appreciate a notice on this  
mailing list to let everyone know.

Oh, and lastly, I would ask you if you think it's better to simply bind  
the C library itself or do something else?
