I banged my head on this earlier today and thought it was a cygwin git

committed it then but didn't have my private ssh key on my windows box
and freedesktop wasn't taking my password for some reason.

So it looks like gmail really isn't an option for contributing patches
to cairo. Unless the inline+attachment idea works.
