Neither do I :)  but I think most of the existing ones are mentioned
there. (except for Cairo, which has now been added).  I have heard talk
of a driver for MetaPost and one for OpenGL at different times, there
was even one from a company wanting one for "our own vector graphics
language", but I don't know if they came to anything.
