I'll tell you what I need it for and let you decide if my request is worth 
your efforts :)

I'm basically planning on using cairo as a rendering platform the charting 
package instead of current gd. Its a distributable software component, so 
less dlls I include, easier it is to maintain. FreeType and PNG are 
important to have though, so that's something to consider if you're willing 
to build a standalone library.

Thanks!
