This causes the formatting in pixman.h to be completely broken.

If we are going to need these pixman_public annotations, please come up
with a way to format the file to incorporate them. Alternatively, maybe
we could use .DEF files instead?

As far as I can tell, this patch doesn't actually do anything,
presumably because some email system stripped out the Windows
newlines. I can run the .sln files through unix2dos before pushing if
that's easier than trying to send CRLF characters through email.

As an aside, is there a reason to have the newline changes in a separate
patch?
