Gtk2::Cairo 0.001

[muppet <scott asofyet org>]

here are some very basic perl bindings for GtkCairo (a cairo-enabled 
gtk+ widget), against anoncvs as of earlier today.  the tarball 
includes a port of the demo that comes with gtkcairo.

i needed the typemaps from cairo, so i patched cairo-perl to use 
ExtUtils::Depends and install the typemaps.  that's also attached.

GtkCairo's "paint" signal uses the G_TYPE_POINTER type for its cairo_t 
argument; this is not very nice, and should be changed to use at least 
a boxed type.  in lieu of that, i had to write a custom marshaler for 
the bindings, which in turn copied the code from the CAIRO_T typemap to 
create a blessed Cairo object.  i'm a little uncomfortable with that, 
as it assumes internals knowledge, but with the current state of 
things, it's the only way.

as for where these should go, cvs-wise, i would presume you'd want to 
keep them as close to gtkcairo as possible, which means in cairo's cvs 
repository.
