A problem with that is that the regions use boxes internally (with x1,
y1, x2, y2 coordinates), not rectangles. So either the rectangles
would be in newly allocated memory, or a new box type would have to be
exported.

The boxes thing is part of the pixman ABI, so it can't really be
changed until the pixman ABI is changed.
