can't build cairo

[Ryan Schmidt]

The cairo port in MacPorts already does build for each architecture separately and then glue them together using lipo. In MacPorts this feature is called the muniversal portgroup. Based on what I've seen, cairo just does not appear to like building for x86_64 on Leopard. (I don't have an Intel Leopard test machine handy to verify that myself.)
