[cairo] Spot colors (and CMYK)

[Bill Spitzak]

I would not use varargs either.

However a pointer to the color array could be used. I would prefer this 
over a structure that contains both info about the color type and the 
values, because in many cases the array is already available in memory, 
but Cairo's structure is not.

So something like:

cairo_set_color(cairo_t*, cairo_color_type_description*, void* data)

If we do this I think it is FAR more important to have "this pixel from 
this image" than any of this color management stuff. Please add this if 
we are going to go down this route!
