I remember that I tried a cairo build some time ago, and I installed pixman-1 at that time (I didn't test if it was really needed). Maybe I can try it again with a current (and a somewhat older) Ubuntu system, and if it works w/o lpixman-1, then we could probably remove that dependency? Maybe Ian could tell us something about the dependency - ISTR that he used to use Cairo in (some of) his builds. Ian, any info about this?
