[cairo] new pixman questions

hey - a couple of questions related to the integration of the new pixman
code. These came from my first, very hack and slash to get it to compile
pass. I am sure I will have more questions as I get back to all the code
I commented out.
1) in the new pixman repo, the source is in pixman/pixman, and in the
cairo it is pixman/src. Anyone mind if I leave it pixman/src ?
2) why pixman_region_num_rects() -> pixman_region_n_rects() ? Is there a
semantic difference I need to be worried about ?
3) in the new code, pixman_region_rects() exists but is not in pixman.h.
Is this an oversight or on purpose ?
4) there does not seem to be a pixman_image_destroy() and I would think
there needs to be one to free image internal data. Oversight ?
5) pixman_image_set_transform() does not return an error condition when
it detects out of memory. I am guessing we should return a bool_t at a
minimum, and possibly an error code ? After all the recent error
handling additions, perhaps a few error codes and an int return make sense.
6) pixman_bits_t is gone. It was a typedef for uint32_t, which is used
in a few places in the code. This is going to force a cast when dealing
with RGB565 and other short data. Do we want to leave it as uint32_t or
perhaps use a typedef to hide things, or perhaps even make it a void* so
that no cast is needed on the public interface ?
thanks,
Dave (happily hip deep in code).
