I don't understand what the point would be.  The idea of GL2PS is to
get output from your OpenGL programs in some vector format.  So
presumably you already have things displaying on a screen to begin
with.  Why go the long way around from screen to cairo just to get
back to the screen?  If you want to display the output, you can always
load it up in any program that can read the formats gl2ps reads.
