Start with an existing port using cairo (e.g. the Gtk+ one) change the 
buildsystem (e.g. configure.ac and GNUmakefile.am for the Gtk+ one) to remove 
everything that is GUI/X related from the buildsystem. Hack until the thing 
compiles. On this way you will notice that:
	- Adding your cairo platform to Platform.h
	- Cursors
	- Drag and Drop
	- Fonts...
	- RenderTheme
	- No API (WebKit)
	...

will cross your way. Resolve each problem and you are done. Happy hacking
