I can confirm. Last time I checked (that is recently), there was no way
to do it at the C level (beside possibly extreme hacks trying to work
around what R does not want to expose, or go for patched source trees
and builds).
What is the status of this patch (accepted ? rejected ? else ?)
This subject keeps appearing on the list, with the existence of a patch
once contributed (3 years ago) acknowledged:

I agree too, I was just trying to put on the balance the amount

Who's willing to do it ?
The issue is not the will nor complexity on the GD side, but
connections are not exposed outside of R (or at the C level), so
there is currently no way to do it (AFAIR). Jeff Horner has proposed
a patch long ago and Cairo works with connections if you patch R, but
connections are to date still not part of the API. So I suspect the
real issue is to create a connection API so packages (and devices)
can use it.
