[cairo] Splitting the cairo backends up so they can be in separate packages?

I was wondering how hard it would be to split up cairo by backend, would it be feasible to build it so there instead of libcairo.so, there is libcairo-${backend}.so, e.g.
libcairo-image.so
libcairo-xcb.solibcairo-pdf.so
etc..?

Any idea what I would need to change to make it build like this ?
(Also, any problems that could arise).

If it could be split up, these could be packaged separately, so if you just want the image backend, you wouldn't need.
