It's a fair thought and probably not all that difficult to do. The existing cairo framework could be used, with an extension like I did for X Drawables being used to pass in an externally created cairo context. I could look into this in more detail but I won't have a lot of time over the next few weeks. If no one else beats me to it I'll pick up on this when time allows.
