[cairo] surface matrix semantics?

[Vladimir Vukicevic]

As usual, the pieces clicked into place 30 seconds after actually 
sending the mail.  A matrix attached to a surface obviously needs to 
transform operations done to that surface -- so a scale of 0.5 set on a 
surface would mean that any rendering to it would happen at half-size. 
We should be setting the matrix on the drawing destination surface, not 
the source.  Right? :)
