Well, regardless of what was 'intended', all of the stable releases have 
been released with the main header in <cairomm/cairomm.h> so there's not 
really much we can do about it at this point.  If we changed that, then 
we'd break almost every program that uses cairomm, so it's not likely to 
change any time soon.
