FWIW, if pkg-config is working on your system, then:

  pkg-config --modversion cairo

Will tell you what version of Cairo the pkg-config tools thinks it is serving 
up to you...

I don't know - I'm more worried about pkg-config than cairo itself. All my 
recent linux boxes seem to have pkg-config working, and it is possible to get 
it working with mingw (though can be a struggle unless you use a binary 
version, it seems to have a lot of dependencies when you try to build it 
yourself from scratch...)

I never had much joy building pkg-config on OSX, so just hard coded the 
dependencies for Cairo in my code/Makefile, and that's been OK, but far from 
graceful and not what we'd want in our configure scripts!
