What's wrong with the auto*tools?

BTW, have you tried scons?  I've heard it recommended as an alternative.

I tried running this but I couldn't.

First the patch is a bit broken.  -p3 is a very odd patchlevel to use. 
Then I got problems because some files were include twice (or so patch 
thought).

After applying the patch and installing cmake, I ran "cmake".  No go. 
Then I tried "cmake .".  This also didn't work.  Then "cmake 
packaging/cmake" also didn't work.

Side note: I notice the src/ part of the patch touched some code that 
uses AlphaBlend.  But AFAIK AlphaBlend isn't available on Win95 and has 
a tendancy to not work on Win98 and WinME.  Does Cairo deal with these 
cases?  It doesn't look like it does.
