           Summary: Add a Verse backend so that all cairo apps can be
                    integrated in Blender, 3DMax
           Product: cairo

Verse currently lets things be integrated in Blender and 3dmax, if there was a
verse backend for cairo, then all cairo programs could be used really easily in
blender (and later later on with each other).

If there was support for verse in both directions it would make it really easy
to join two cairo apps together (maybe I'm editing an image in gimp* and it is
updating in realtime in inkscape).

*maybe gimp is not the best example as there is already a verse plugin for it,
but you get the idea - easy network sharing of parts of apps.

Just being able to use cairo based apps mixed with 3D apps would be a pretty
big win in itself.
