Hi all,

With the GNOME-2.12 release due to be ready in a couple of weeks,
I'd like to propose a couple of new packages that need to be added
to the BLFS book.

It is my understanding that GNOME-2.12 will require the 2.8 branch
of GTK+. This is a brand-new release and now requires the Cairo
graphics library. Though there is not a *stable* release of Cairo
as of yet (there is a snapshot tarball, cairo-0.9.2.tar.gz), I'm
certain there will be one soon.

You can check out Cairo at http://cairographics.org/introduction

Cairo at this point requires the libpixman library, so this package
should probably be added to BLFS as well.

I will get the new pages ready, and add them to BLFS after some
discussion of this proposal.
