Cairo default configuration

[Travis Griggs]

Ryan Schmidt (the maintainer of the Cairo port) asked me to lobby the  
list for feedback on an issue I recently ran aground of. Cairo can be  
built with multiple backends. Once upon a time, the default  
configuration caused only the xlib backend to be built. You had to  
take extra steps to get the quartz backend built. And then that  
changed, and BOTH backends were turned on by default. Ryan recently  
changed it back to the old way, so that quartz requires extra  
configuration to work. I've lobbied him to revert it (I should take a  
moment to thank him for providing the port in the first place, thank  
you very much Ryan) so that quartz is on by default. In fact I might  
go so far as to say xlib does not need to be turned on unless told to  
be, but that's because for MY uses, I just need quartz.
