I have downloaded this - thanks - but I have a couple of questions about it.

1. OK, so is this DLL *all* I need to use Cairo in my application?  That is,
are there any other DLLs or libraries that I will need too such as a Pixman
DLL, PkgConfig DLL or Glib DLL?
2. Why is there a "-2" suffix on the name of this DLL?  What does the 2
represent?

Thanks,

John
