To help keep people (including me :-) ) better informed about this important feature, it would be good to implement a simple GTK/extcairo example application. I am thinking of something similar to examples/c/plplotcanvas_demo.c (which demonstrates the GNOME2 bindings capability) or examples/c++/wxPLplotDemo.cpp (which demonstrates the wxwidgets bindings capability). If you would be willing to programme such a simple GTK/extcairo example, I would be willing to implement the corresponding CMake-based build system requirements. For example, if the application required special compiling and linking information to build in the installed examples tree, I could configure a unique pkg-config module to supply that information (as we currently do for the GNOME2 and wxwidgets cases among others).
