[cairo] Potential patches (need review help)

[Bryce Harrington]

Hi all,

I've been combing through patches being contributed via the mailing
list, and pulled in several good ones.

Here are a few others on my list, that I think look really close but I
had some questions on (and can't test myself due to hardware).


https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30610

This fixes an issue on Sun by declaring some anonymous unions.  This is
probably fine but the bug's old so I'm not sure the patch is still
relevant.


https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=30969

Simple fix for windows zip file generation to include cairo-gobject
libraries.  Another relatively old patch that I can't tell if it's still
relevant.  The patch needs a (simple) modification to check for
existance of the library files.


https://bugs.freedesktop.org/show_bug.cgi?id=63461

Another platform endianness bug.  The original patch looked simple
enough, but it's been superseded by two new patches that add NULL/0
checks.  Do these two patches cover all the cases that the first patch
did?  Or is there a simpler way to handle this without peppering these
checks everywhere?


https://bugs.freedesktop.org/attachment.cgi?id=77338

Excludes sphinx for windows builds.  The patch is fine, but I'm
wondering: What is sphinx, some sort of search server?  What are we
using it for?  (See also fdo #29319 for another sphinx build patch).


Thanks ahead of time for opinions/feedback/concerns on any of the above.
