 {{{
 ERROR: Cairo_draw_bitmap: Failed to create source
 }}}

 lib/cairodriver/Draw_bitmap.c needs sync'ing with 7.0. It can't be merged
 due to other changes to the driver architecture, but it shouldn't be too
 hard to take the 7.0 version then tweak it for 6.x.

 Cairo typically requires surfaces to be word-aligned. Older versions would
 create unaligned surfaces which produced garbage when used as a source.
 Newer versions simply refuse to create them.
