--- Comment #1 from Bryce Harrington <b.harrington at samsung.com> ---
I think that tesselator may be an accepted alternate spelling, or perhaps its
the British spelling.  Googling isn't giving me a definitive answer on that
though.

In any case, even if it is the British spelling, it seems Cairo follows US
spelling conventions (e.g. 'colour' shows up only once in src/*.*, vs 1632
times for 'color').

Plus, the API includes _cairo_traps_tessellate_*,
_cairo_bentley_ottmann_tessellate_*, etc. so the double-ell spelling appears to
be more standard.

I'm seeing a few other places with the single-ell spelling; I'll fix them all
while I'm at it.
