Message:

* Updated the bindings to support cairo 1.2 and cairo 1.4. Support for these can be enabled with the cairo_1_2 and cairo_1_4 version identifiers.
* Added pdf, ps and svg support.
* Updated the build script appropriately.
* Note that cairooo is not likely to receive any further updates in its current form. It is being forked and rewritten for Tango's graphics package, although a port back to Phobos isn't out of the question.

+the following additional arguments to the build script:

+* cairo 1.0: no arguments needed.
+* cairo 1.2: ``+--version=cairo_1_2``
+* cairo 1.4: ``+--version=cairo_1_4``

+You will also need to specify the same version identifier when you compile
+your programs.
