Log Message:

        * TODO: Remove many TODO items that have now been absorbed by the
        API shakeup. Remove comparison with PostScript as there's nothing
        interesting there left unimplemented, (and cairo is already
        establishing its own conventions in naming and behavior that
        deviate from PostScript).

 * Clean up the cache code a bit, (there is at least one redundant
   level of cacheing, and there are some minor style issues).
 
-* Implement the parallel install stuff, (most importantly, push
-  cairo.h down into into one directory below $(includedir)).
-
 * Add CAIRO_FILL_RULE_INVERSE_WINDING and CAIRO_FILL_RULE_INVERSE_EVEN_ODD
 
-* Simplifying the operator set?
-
 * Fix clipping to work for all operators. The equation we have come up
   with is:
 
 	((src Op dest) In clip) Add (dest Out clip)
 
-* Resolve the rest of the rendering equation. We need a fundamental
-  equation upon which more convenient operations are based, (at least
-  formally). Some of the common operations that should be convenient:
-
-	* display surface
-	* display surface multiplied by constant alpha
-	* display pattern masked by surface
-
-  So this involves deciding whether to expose a new mask object in the
-  graphics state, and deciding exactly what set_alpha means. It almost
-  certainly means adding cairo_show_surface_mask.
-
-* Implement a hidden transform, (as per the result of the hidden
-  offset thread on the mailing list).
-
 * Replace PNG backend with an image_surface function to save a PNG
   image.
 
 * Clean up the API in preparation for freezing and release.
 
-* Implement a PDF backend.
-
 * Make a more interesting PS backend, (other than the current
 "giant-image for every page" approach).

 images.

-will be drawing to the same drawable after it is handed to
-cairo. Beyond that, we might actually provide support for cooperating
-with external entities by adding one or more of the following

-A comparison with PostScript
-============================
-
-Here's a list of several classes of PostScript operators indicating
-which operators have rough equivalents in cairo and which do not. In
-general, the name of a cairo function corresponding to a PostScript
-operator can be obtained by inserting a '_' between each word and
-prefixing it with "cairo_". For example, "cairo_move_to" corresponds
-to the PostScript "moveto".
-
-In cases where the name of the cairo function deviates from this
-convention, or when the behavior of the cairo function is
-significantly different, the change is noted in parentheses below.
-
-This list is not exhaustive, (there are definitely some minor (major?)
-semantic deviations that are not noted below). Also, this list is
-almost certainly out of date with respect to the current cairo
-implementation. Caveat lector.
-
-Operators that are not yet in cairo, but probably should be: arcto,
-strokepath, rectclip?, clipsave/restore?, setstrokeadjust?,
-currentdash, grestoreall?, initgraphics?, currentgstate?, setgstate?,
-erasepage?, setsmoothness?
