[cairo] using cairo in c++

[Bill Spitzak]

The 2.0 CVS version of fltk can be compiled to use cairo for drawing 
everything(*). Run configure with --enable_cairo (or something like 
that). There is then a static cairo context called "fltk::cc" which you 
can use as the first argument to all your drawing.

Cairo should replace the need for fltk to do it's own device-indepent 
drawing layer, so Fl_Device has not been implemented in fltk2.

(*) well not everything yet. It is still drawing images and fonts using 
Xft/XRender, but this will be fixed. Biggest problem is that cairo has 
no "list the toy fonts" call and fltk needs this.
