It doesn't work for cairo.

$ fink dumpinfo -fdescpackaging cairo

        dmacks: seems to ignore --enable-gtk-doc, so just patch the
        prefix in the bad URLs in the existing generated files.

Cairo actually uses it.

Are you offering us a build farm and somebody to administer it?  That'd
be why we don't have a binary distribution right now.

 And why do we insist to install gtk-doc for everything that depends
(and in case of cairo does not even depend) on gtk.
