[cairo] "operator" keyword in libcairo

[Stuart Parmenter]

The problem is that the GDI+ backend code needs the cairoint code to
not use operator anywhere.  I never checked in that patch cause keith
and carl didn't really want it, but it needs to go in at some point to
allow backends to ever be written using C++.
