/* further explanation of suggestions snipped */

The snippets environment now uses a common

snippet_normalize (cr, width, height)

to set the CTM and line width, this function is also documented at the
main snippets index page at http://cairographics.org/samples/

The standard decorations have been removed, their original purpose was
 part of the layout of the paper where the snippets originally
appeared, and shouldn't be needed any more.

I further think the snippets should be moved to a "snippets/" sub
directory, and an "output/" sub directory created for the generated
data. This will have to wait until the next available cairo hacking
time slot though.
