For the PNG extension specifically, it was creating callbacks that can be called from C and the setjmp magic that libpng requires. I think it's possible to do it, but I was surprised at how non-obvious those pieces of Cython were. I was really hoping by creating this experiment that a Cython expert would step up and show the way ;)
The Agg backend has more C++-specific challenges, particularly instantiating very complex template expressions -- but I haven't really followed that on through.
