Need to upgrade to (ideally) 1.6 final, or a release that's very close to what the final is.

This is checked in, but I had to revert two cairo commits to get things in cleanly:

731e121 - expand out pattern extents to cover bilinear filtering extents
  - this reveals deeper breakage in _cairo_pattern_acquire_surfaces

c1062bf - keep around original visual info when creating similar surface for xlib
  - this is causing bug 427485

I need to get these resolved and put back, mainly because they're both linux-only and that's the platform where we won't have full control over the cairo source in use.

Vlad: does this contain the SSE2 optimizations described here:

Nope; won't get any of that until post-1.9, it needs some bake time and some bugfixing first.
