The meta-surface is a vital tool to record a trace of drawing commands
in-memory. As such it is used throughout cairo.
The value of such a surface is immediately obvious and should be
applicable for many applications. The first such case is by
cairo-test-trace which wants to record the entire graph of drawing commands
that affect a surface in the event of a failure.
Written by Vladimir Vukicevic to enable integration with Qt embedded
devices, this backend allows cairo code to target QPainter, and use
it as a source for other cairo backends.
This imports the sources from mozilla-central:
http://mxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-central/find?text=&kind=text&string=cairo-qpainter
renames them from cairo-qpainter to cairo-qt, and integrates the patch
by Oleg Romashin:

And then attempts to restore 'make check' to full functionality.
However:
- C++ does not play well with the PLT symbol hiding, and leaks into the
global namespace. 'make check' fails at check-plt.sh
- Qt embeds a GUI into QApplication which it requires to construct any
QPainter drawable, i.e. used by the boilerplate to create a cairo-qt
surface, and this leaks fonts (cairo-ft-fonts no less) causing assertion
failures that all cairo objects are accounted for upon destruction.

Adds a new, fake, fontconfig font backend. Fontconfig can be disabled
using --disable-fc, in which case the toy text API wont find fonts and
the internal font will always be used.
Also defines the feature macro CAIRO_HAS_FC_FONT. The two fontconfig-specific
functions in cairo-ft.h depend on that macro now.
