IIRC, since pixman was included into cairo before (like in 1.6.x?),
and now it's an external library I think it's unlikely it will be ever
included directly into cairo release tarball again.

Seems so.  However, as long as ./configure checks for the latest
pixman release it's aware of, this is going to work.

Yep, it's not required now as pixman doesn't seem to have any build
dependencies (other than gcc and binutils, heh), but may become needed
sometime later.

Sure.

No, that's shouldn't be necessary.  At least on Linux I have:

~/src/cairo-1.10.0/test$ ldd .libs/cairo-test-suite | grep /home
	libcairo.so.2 => /home/user/lib/libcairo.so.2 (0x00007fe52aa2e000)
	libpixman-1.so.0 => /home/user/lib/libpixman-1.so.0 (0x00007fe52a389000)

And there's no LD_LIBRARY_PATH or something similar set in the environment:

$ set | grep /home
HISTFILE=/home/user/.bash_history
HOME=/home/user
OLDPWD=/home/user/src/cairo-1.10.0
PATH=/home/user/bin:/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin:/usr/games
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/home/user/lib/pkgconfig:
$

Probably, installation instructions can be improved to incorporate
some of the above information, huh? :)
