Is it already known when these patches will be available for ordinary
users?

The gobject-introspection based files for my current Nim bindings seems
to work already not too bad (https://github.com/StefanSalewski/gintro)
so I should try to provide cairo bindings soon as well.

Creating all manually is of course some additional work, so I would
hope that your patches can save me some labor.
