Hi,
Is there any work ongoing as to having an “official” tie of SDL and
Cairo, similar to what SDL_svg and SDL/OpenGL ties already are? It’d
need to be cross-platform, of course, which makes it a little bit
demanding since i.e. Cairo font handling still (for now) is very X11/
Pango oriented.

Well, it makes little sense to do so, as using OpenGL is way more
widespread. Even in the future, as it gets wider acceptance and hardware
acceleration, Cairo will stack up on OpenGL (using glitz in between -
yet another layer), and thus using OpenGL directly removes two useless
indirection layers while giving us the same functionality.
