In doubt, I thought, ref is better :) No there's no real reason
for the ref except that explicitly specifying ref makes it clear that
the array should not be copied. I suppose, however, they are passed by
ref, right?

Well, actually you made me thing about this again. When using a byte
array to a native function call, it should be fixed. Otherwise
it might be relocated later on. Nevertheless, the cairo method
explicitly states that you have to take care of the buffer.

This patched class works just fine in our project, though...
