I feel disturbed by that ;) Not sure why.

The code I'm trying to Vala-ize is here:
http://cairographics.org/manual/cairo-Paths.html#cairo-path-data-t

(scroll down a wee bit to sample code for iterating a cairo_path_t)

I see there's some tricksy stuff going on in the C. A pointer/deref
thing and a Union structure. Gulp. I think It'll take me a while to
wrap my old head around it.

Oh, indeed, it's a mess. I'm really trying to compile this *at all* -
running it is still a ways down the road.

Thanks for your input so far,
