The idea was to introduce a parallel library libcairo-gobject.so to 
hold those dependencies, but it appears not to have worked.  For some 
reason libtool or automake adds glib and gobject as deps to cairo 
proper too.  You can see them in the installed libcairo.la file as 
well as ldd'ing the installed libcairo.so.
