[cairo] finding the size of a cairo surface

I have to warn you that the only operation directfb can accelerate is the
2D blit to "upload-to-screen". Everything else is better done with the CPU
(image surface) intermediates. (Though glyphs could be accelerated under
rare circumstances, you'd probably lose due to migration.)

The first question is how did you create the surface without knowing the
size... But if you truly do not want to change your own API, then:

	void get_surface_size (cairo_surface_t *surface,
			       int *width, int *height)
	{
		cairo_t *cr;
		double x1, x2, y1, y2;

		cr = cairo_create (surface);
		cairo_clip_extents (surface, &x1, &y1, &x2, &y2);
		cairo_destroy (cr);

		*width = x2 - x1;
		*height = y2 - y1;
	}

I am intrigued as to what you are using directfb for - just checking
that existing users will be able to easily migrate to a KMS/DRM world.
