I remember many times in the past having to deal with missing cairo.h
and every time it was either that cairo's build was stuffed or the
ebuild I was trying to emerge was stuffed.

Bloody devs who insist on continually moving things around. Anyway, in
each case a symlink to the offending file would fix it. But this hasn't
happened in a long time now, maybe as much as a year.
