[java-gnome-hackers] Cairo Surface's setMimeData() at last

[Andrew C. <an...@op...>]

I've merged a branch with coverage of Cairo Surface's setMimeData() to
'mainline'.

This is useful so that instead of the decoded and rastered bitmap image,
the original [ie jpeg, or to a lesser extent png] image can be attached
to a vector backend target instead. So JPEGs stay JPEGs instead of
turning into 12 MB bitmaps. Yeay.

Thanks to Adrian Johnson, Cairo PDF hacker extraordinaire for his
guidance in #cairo. I've been waiting about 2 years for this one to
appear in Cairo 1.10 and for us to  have a chance to use it :)

I documented it as follows here:
http://java-gnome.sourceforge.net/4.0/doc/api/org/freedesktop/cairo/Surface.html#setMimeData(org.freedesktop.cairo.MimeType,%20byte[])
