It was suspended. I was at trying to finish initclip (ie. by reset the 
pixmap buffer, there's no standard
api for initclip in cairo) and 
http://maliwan.sourceforge.net/cairo-shot.jpg is still the last shot of it
(you will see no clipping). After that I'll start working on text-api 
and the image drawing parts...

But I don't have enough time for cairo-back now because I'm busy working 
on cmyk soft proofing in gimp
(hope to finish it by this week) and my own library called maliwan which 
is almost working (there are
a few shots annouced in its blog), after that I'll only concentrate on 
blu tulip, an imaging program.
That's it, I'm pretty busy. But if anyone is interested by cairo-back 
development you can always checkout
back-cairo module from woom's cvs on savannah...
