Cairo looks to be a better option that libgnomeprint, now that I look
at it.

It would require modifying the FoDoc type (fo-doc.[ch],
fo-doc-cairo.[ch]) to add a create function that accepts a stream
argument instead of a filename.

Internally, it would use cairo_pdf_surface_create_for_stream() (and
other variants for other output formats).  See:

http://www.cairographics.org/manual/cairo-PDF-Surfaces.html#cairo-pdf-surfa=
ce-create-for-stream

That is what I expected to be the case.  Thanks for omitting it this
time.
