For reference, cairo_image_surface_create_from_png_stream can be used
with an array that contains actual PNG data, (that is, precisely the
contents of a PNG file). This takes a very little bit of effort,
(writing the trivial read function).

Alternately, cairo_image_surface_create_for_data can be used with an
array that contains the un-encoded image content in a supported cairo
format. I think the two previous replies suggested approaches for
generating arrays, but not properly formatted for cairo.

The simplest way to get a properly formatted array is probably to just
write a tiny program that uses cairo_image_surface_create_from_png
with the filename, then uses the following functions:

	cairo_image_surface_get_width
	cairo_image_surface_get_height
	cairo_image_surface_get_stride
	cairo_image_surface_get_data

and a loop to emit a C-syntax array with the data.

I think this is exactly what "The-Kenny" ended up doing, (after some
discussion in IRC). Want to share the final program you came up with
for that conversion?
