This time around, I could get it to compile. :-)

After testing it against a bunch of my recent everyday LilyPond 
documents: For most of the files, it seems to work perfectly. (In 
Okular, I seem to notice very subtle differences in line widths, but 
those may be rendering artifacts.)

Also, in most cases, the Cairo-generated pdf is much smaller than the 
original. This seems most promising and not far from production quality!

Noticable defects:

- There's no support for colors yet, right?
- \markup \scale ... is ignored. Is this a fundamental limitation, or is 
this "just not done yet"?
