No, there is not. Having whined about it myself once upon a time, I  
feel obligated to pass on the news. That said, I've found that Cairo  
has allowed me to do graphical things in place of xor solutions that I  
liked way better anyway. In short, it's a bummer, because if you just  
want to port an older idea of portraying something, you can't, but  
OTOH, it's cool, because Cairo will force you to do it cooler anyway.

It would be interesting to hear what you were hoping to use it for, we  
might suggest something cooler. :)
