If the library loading on windows fails try the larger windows starkit which contains as well cairo, zip and png shared libs.

You have to use the C-Api documentation provided here: http://cairographics.org/manual/
A tcl wrapper using an OO-framework like [Snit] or [Itcl] would be greet in making it more tclish.
