Nothing would prevent you to do such a thing, but in that last case you would 
have to ask for cairo support at compile time.

This would permit to avoid people not interested in cairo not having to link 
against it, that's all. But apart from that you can switch dynamically between 
cairo and current drawings as you may already do today.

Of course, pluggable device abstraction would also permit to use another layer 
for fltk drawings too, but I believe IMHO that this single feature may deserve 
a 1.4 version of the toolkit if we want to be sure to release a stable version 
of 1.3 in a reasonable timeline ...
