Applied, but please note that pixman is not intended as a general
purpose library - only as a way of sharing an implementation between
cairo and X. Later versions may break compatibility.

Such incompatible versions will be parallel installable, but you will
not be able to link both versions into the same executable. This means
among other things that linking with both cairo and directly to pixman
could make it impossible to upgrade to link to a later version of
cairo without also upgrading to a new version of pixman.


Thanks,
Soren
