I'd recommend moving the cairo rendering code into Mesa and have Mesa implement and export some kind of a low-level cairo library. Please note that Gallium doesn't support Intel GPUs, which may be a significant part of your user base. A cairo GL backend is probably going to be your best choice if you want hardware support everywhere.
