Now that this seems to be working reliably ("seems to be" because it
will probably crash as soon as I post this), a question on how we
should build it (It seems pointless for me to measure the build
using differnet options from what will be in the book).

Upstream changed to using cairo-gtk3 as the default a little while
ago, but we are still defaulting to cairo-gtk2.  I would prefer to
follow upstream and use gtk3.

Note that I will be uploading a patch to fix it for gtk-3.20
(changes in gtk mean the scrollbar sliders no longer appear without
the patch) - this will be *required* (it has been accepted
upstream).

I would also like to upload - and mention (as *optional*) a patch to
allow people to use system graphite2 and system harfbuzz : gentoo
have been using this for a couple of releases, but it is stuck
waiting for review at mozilla (the bug was originally raised a long
time ago).

Objections ?  Comments ?
