Very cool ! What about some little architecture / high-level design document
showing how all this fits together ? What is cairo, actually ? I remember it
being some vector graphics rendering engine related to the XFree86 project.
Is this still accurate ? Is it a library users need to install and which xmlroff
checks for in configure ? What exactly does this cairo backend replace ?

Thanks a lot !
