-Dependencies
-============
-The set of libraries needed to compile cairo depends on which backends
-are enabled when cairo is configured. Here are the dependencies for
-each backend:
-
-Surface backends:
-
-	image backend (required)
-	------------------------
-	pixman			http://cairographics.org/releases
-			or:	git://git.cairographics.org/git/pixman
-
-	glitz backend
-	-------------
-	glitz >= 0.4.4 		http://freedesktop.org/Software/glitz
-
-	pdf backend
-	-----------
-	freetype >= 2.1.4	http://freetype.org
-	zlib			http://www.gzip.org/zlib
-
-	postscript backend
-	------------------
-	freetype >= 2.1.4	http://freetype.org
-	zlib			http://www.gzip.org/zlib
-
-	quartz backend
-	--------------
-	[*]
-
-	win32 backend
-	-------------
-	[*]
-
-	xcb backend
-	-----------
-	XCB			http://xcb.freedesktop.org
-
-	xlib backend
-	------------
-	Xrender >= 0.6		http://freedesktop.org/Software/xlibs
-
-	beos backend
-	------------
-	No dependencies in itself other than an installed BeOS system, but cairo
-	requires a font backend. See the freetype dependency list.
-
-	os2 backend
-	-----------
-	Cairo should run on any recent version of OS/2 or eComStation, but it
-	requires a font backend. See the freetype dependency list. Ready to use
-	packages and developer dependencies are available at Netlabs:
-				ftp://ftp.netlabs.org/pub/cairo
-
-Font backends:
-
-	freetype font backend
-	---------------------
-	freetype >= 2.1.4	http://freetype.org
-	fontconfig		http://fontconfig.org
-
-	win32 font backend
-	------------------
-	[*]
-
-	atsui font backend
-	------------------
-	[*]
-
-	[*] I don't know specifically what packages might need to be
-	    installed on a Mac OS X system to use the Quartz and ATSUI
-	    backends. As far as win32, the situation is rather complex:
-
-	    The Win32 backend should work on Windows 2000 and newer
-	    (excluding Windows Me.) Most testing has been done on
-	    Windows XP. While some portions of the code have been
-	    adapted to work on older versions of Windows, considerable
-	    work still needs to be done to get cairo running in these
-	    environments.
-
-	    Cairo can be compiled on Windows either with the GCC
-	    toolchain (see http://www.mingw.org) or with Microsoft
-	    Visual C++. Makefiles or project files for compiling with
-	    MSVC are however not provided as of this release. We have
-	    received reports that MSVC 6.0 compiles parts of cairo
-	    incorrectly, (leading to incorrect color). MSVC 7.0 is
-	    known to work.
