Screenshot is at http://maihem.org/hggui.png, sorry for the cluttered
font but I haven't looked how to select a different font yet :) No
colours yet either.

I compiled pycairo in the prescence of libcairo1-dev from ubuntu (don't
remember which version, but I don't expect any problems with later
versions), then I compiled pygtk 2.7.0 plus fix (2.7.1 should work) in
the prescence of gtk+ 2.7 dev libraries.

Cairo is or should be protable to both Windows and OSX. Firefox is
expected to use cairo for svg on windows eventually, apparently.
