Well, I was under the impression that Mozilla included an in-tree copy of 
cairo because of them finding and fixing bugs locally and not wanting to have 
to wait on new upstream releases before they can benefit from them.  If this 
is still the case, it would be nice if they didn't provide 
an --enable-system-cairo configure option (or whatever vocabulary they use), 
but I don't follow development closely enough to know whether they've gone 
this far or not.

I assume glib-2.13.x is unstable?  If so, I guess Mozilla are simply 
anticipating a stable release before they are in a position to release 
Firefox-3.0?

As for libjpeg, libpng and zlib what other versions are there?

Regards,

Matt.
