BTW, why not merge all of the libs in it. I tried building debian
packages, but it is not easy as the later libs depend on the earlier to
already be installed and such. Doing a package per lib would be a
solution, but i doubt it makes sense to create a package for slim for
example.

Anyway, it would be nice to have a nice wrapper package/build system for
when Cairo starts making releases.

Actually i should post things like that to the cairo mailing list.
