Seems reasonable.  I'd like to request, then, that write32BGRAto24RGB be
a part of whatever python binding eventually emerges from this.

I'm using Linux and OSX.  I haven't actually been able to do anything
with cairo yet; I was planning on wrapping it at the libsvg level.
However, xsvg won't link for me and I haven't had to look at it.  I may
just extract the data I need from the SVG files and use cairo at this
point.

Did you need the X11 header files or libraries to compile on win32?  If
not, that would be a significant OSX roadblock out of the way.
