[cairo] Graphic Effects with Cairo

[Gerdus van Zyl]

Sorry bitmap effects are not currently possible with cairo. You can
however do this:
1) fake it eg. using a gradient for a shadow, glow, etc.
2) you can get the image buffer (cairo_image_surface_get_data) and use
some other library to do some effects

I would love to do bitmap effects in cairo but until that day some
other projects may be of interest like openil and gegl.
