Ok. So, a little bit more digging shows that the mere act of loading
nVidia's libGL dirties ~5MiB of memory on AMD64. Multiplied by each
process linking to cairo that's going to add up to real money pretty
soon.
Unless we get cairo to dynamically load libGL when an application
requests a GL context this is not going away without nvidia changing
their drivers.
