I didn't see this.  Thanks for pointing it out.

The patch I posted is a cleaned-up version of a patch that we've been 
using in production for several years.

What are the main barriers to getting your PDF links/metadata API 
merged?  If there was a supported upstream cairo API for doing this 
stuff then we'd definitely move over to using it.
