I've collect all public API and made stub functions for them. By default 
stub functions generates "not implemented" error. Then, if a snippet 
code generates error, turned back and "fill in the blanks"; Yes, I'm not 
suggesting this method :)

Commented snippets are:
- imagepattern uses cairo_matrix_t
- libsvg uses a discontinued library
- cairo requires utf8 text, I'll investigate

I tested SavePDF, but it gives a blank pdf file, needs some more 
investigation. So, I commented out.

Thank you for your nice words!

BTW, I first learned about Lua by a message from you, in Scintilla 
group; so I owe you -a late- thank you!
