Another quite big problem is that it is damn *slow*, think about renaming the 
Toolkit FLTK a more adequate name like SLTK before heavy use.

Seriously, I don't think it was a good idea in fltk2 to make *all* rendering 
with cairo.

Instead, we should have provided a very light and simple API like the code in 
the cairo demo plus some fltk internals hacks to support the surfaces.
This way, best of both worlds could be achieved:
Simple rendering made as usual, complex rendering with the use of cairo.
