[cairo] How can I scale a calro surface

[Jonathon Jongsma]

cairo_scale() does not scale the surface.  It only scales the
userspace-to-devicespace coordinate mapping.  If you had called
cairo_scale(), drawn something, and then saved it to a png, you'd have
noticed that the thickness and length of the lines that you drew were
scaled.  But it won't scale the size of the surface.
