Sounds good, but yeah I've been using the xcairo device.  It sounds  
like we need a new "quartzcario" device (or maybe the shorter  
"qcairo" name would be better).  I don't think we'd ever have a  
"qtcairo" driver, so there shouldn't be too much confusion.

FWIW, MacPorts can install cairo with support for the quartz surface  
(by enabling the "quartz" variant)...

$ grep CAIRO_HAS_QUARTZ_SURFACE /opt/local/include/cairo/cairo- 
features.h
#define CAIRO_HAS_QUARTZ_SURFACE 1

I don't know enough about mac development to drive this effort, but  
I'd be happy to test and/or help out!
