The cairopdf terminal is here:
http://sourceforge.net/tracker/index.php?func=detail&aid=1651015&group_id=2055&atid=302055

Making a cairopng terminal is actually almost a one-liner from the above 
patch: you just have to change 'cairo_pdf_surface_create' to its png 
counterpart. Sweet, isn't it ?

Best regards,
