Memory is short (I even was searching this in 2003;-). To the point:

there already is (or should I say was?) a native win32 backend (
using just plain GDI). And in fact it had working code - but IIRC was rejected
cause of not being buildable with autotools. See:

http://www.cairographics.org/pipermail/cairo/2004-July/001581.html

It isn't build with Mingw/autotools though, cause I never managed to
get such an environment working ...
