Changes:
  * Support RubyGems.

  * Support win32 surface. (Yoshinao Muramatsu)

  * Add high-level color interface. (Cairo::Color)

    * Improve color related API. For example:
	From:
	  context.set_source_rgb(1, 0, 0)
	To:
	  context.set_source_color(:red)

    * Support color type conversion between RGB, CMYK and HSV.

    * Many default color definitions.

  * Improve constant value specify API. For example:
      From:
        Cairo::ImageSurface.new(Cairo::FORMAT_ARGB32, 100, 100)
      To:
        Cairo::ImageSurface.new(:argb32, 100, 100)

  * Add experimental API Cairo::Context#pseudo_blur. (API
    may be changed.)

  * and more...
