OK, answering my own question so no one else needs to...
I accidentally included both pixman-region.c and also pixman-region16.c 
and pixman-region32.c

As it turns out, pixman-region.c is included into the others, so there 
is no need to include it in the build files.

OK - now on to trying to build Cairo for Windows CE!

Cheers,
Mohit.
