You are more than welcome :).

Indeed.

Yes, and it revealed a few failures.  One problem was with the test
nil-surface.  It was not doing any drawing operations and causing in
zero-page invalid PS/PDF.  To fix that, I made cairo-paginated also
issue a show_page() if no show_page was done ever.  That is, no
zero-page output.

The other failure was in the test-paginated surface test code.  Fixed
that by forcing an early show_page too (which had to go through a
temporary cairo_t, since there's no cairo_surface_show_page(), and
cairo_surface_finish() is not idempotent).

Pushed now.
