1. I am only interested in the trapezoids generated by the tesselator,
and as far as I've seen there's no way to get access to those using
the public api.

2. I plan to pass the geometry information (line_to, move_to, ...)
from another language (java) which has some overhead calling C code.
Not much (about 20-60 cycles) but it adds over all the small function
calls.
So I would like to fill the path buffer myself (cairo_path_buf_t )
directly, without caling into C code, and then with a single call to
cairo retrieve the trapezoid list.
I guess that stuff will _never_ be supported ;)
