Hi Murray,

Long ago (before cairo 1.0) we had a single "cairo.h" file that gave
you all the backends enabled in your cairo build.

Then we discovered that many systems, (X, Microsoft Windows, and
Apple), all have namespace-hating header files that collide badly,
(with things like Window, Cursor, etc.).

So for cairo, we know provide separate cairo-xlib.h, cairo-win32.h,
and cairo-quartz.h and applications can pull those in only as needed.

I don't know exactly what's happening here, but if cairomm is pulling
in several of those system-specific header files automatically, then
that's a problem.
