Excuse my complete ignorance of cairo, but how do you see printing
working long term? Can cairo use a GDI+ backend for printing and a
Direct3D backend for screen display for the same application or do we
need to provide one combined backend? If the former then starting with
a GDI+ backend certainly seems like the way forward to me since we'll
need it anyway.
