Yes and no.  It's locked in that it cannot be removed.  But it can be
improved.  However, I'm not sure that we want to add more a lot of
parameters here.  PNG support is cairo's way to import and export
images, and it does the job just like that, losslessly and in a rather
efficient format.  Anything else should be implemented on top of other
cairo API.  It's like the toy text api.
