/* Spline deviation from the circle in radius would be given by:

	error = sqrt (x**2 + y**2) - 1

   A simpler error function to work with is:

	e = x**2 + y**2 - 1

   From "Good approximation of circles by curvature-continuous Bezier
   curves", Tor Dokken and Morten Daehlen, Computer Aided Geometric
   Design 8 (1990) 22-41, we learn:

	abs (max(e)) = 4/27 * sin**6(angle/4) / cos**2(angle/4)

   and
	abs (error) =~ 1/2 * e

   Of course, this error value applies only for the particular spline
   approximation that is used in _cairo_gstate_arc_segment.

/* We want to draw a single spline approximating a circular arc radius
   R from angle A to angle B. Since we want a symmetric spline that
   matches the endpoints of the arc in position and slope, we know
   that the spline control points must be:

	(R * cos(A), R * sin(A))
	(R * cos(A) - h * sin(A), R * sin(A) + h * cos (A))
	(R * cos(B) + h * sin(B), R * sin(B) - h * cos (B))
	(R * cos(B), R * sin(B))

   for some value of h.

   "Approximation of circular arcs by cubic poynomials", Michael
   Goldapp, Computer Aided Geometric Design 8 (1991) 227-238, provides
   various values of h along with error analysis for each.

   From that paper, a very practical value of h is:

	h = 4/3 * tan(angle/4)

   This value does not give the spline with minimal error, but it does
   provide a very good approximation, (6th-order convergence), and the
   error expression is quite simple, (see the comment for
   _arc_error_normalized).
