A few days ago I committed a patch with which I tried to improve the
coordinate handling of annotation.
And I updated the annotation guide which describes the change in some detail.
http://matplotlib.sourceforge.net/trunk-docs/users/annotations_guide.html#using-complex-coordinate-with-annotation
When testing the cairo backend on Mac OS X, I did experience crashes with long
path lengths even with the current version (1.8.8) of cairo / pycairo. So the
path length check is still needed. I put it back in.
