CFT cairo 1.12

Greetings!

This is a weird call for testers.

So in our quest for push Xorg on FreeBSD further. We are looking for people to primaily test
cairo 1.12 with the old Xorg stack. We know that the graphics with the 2.7.1 intel
driver are horribly broken(lots of artifacs) so people don't need to test that, but what is the state of the other xorg video drivers 
with cairo 1.12? A screenshot and details about installed ports and your hardware should be enough.

While this CFT is focused on the non-WITH_NEW_XORG that should not stop
people that are using WITH_NEW_XORG from trying it out. The Intel/Radeon KMS drivers shouldn't have any problem
with cairo 1.12.

To apply the patch do the following:
Download the patch from [1].
cd /usr/ports
patch -p0 < /path/to/cairo-1.12.16.diff
rebuild cairo

We are also interested if people are still using 8.x for there desktop. Is there a specific reason for not
updating to 9.x or 10.x?
