It used to be libXr depends on libXc depends on libic. But libXr and
libXc have now been merged and renamed to 'Cairo'.
The hope is certainly that we can pool knowledge to get the ultimately
fast code for each platform in libic without having to do it over
and over again in different places; right now, everybody has there
own favorite set of routines, and as fun as it is to hand-tweak
MMX and squeeze out a few extra million pixels per second
(I have my own set of such routines around somewhere), it's not
really efficient...
