Question about cairo-gl

The wayland build instructions also include the building of pixman and
cairo in order to enable the cairo gl backend.
However I get the impression that weston does not use this unless a
switch --with-cairo=gl is passed to configure. Only then does it produce
calls to attempt to make a context (they fail on my machine so it uses
the image backend anyway). Also without this switch weston clients
happily link with and run with the system cairo which has no gl backend.
Since I am trying to figure out working build instructions, I was
wondering what to do with this step:
1. Remove the compilation of pixmap & cairo
2. Add the --with-cairo=gl switch
3. It actually works without that switch, it's just that it is broken on
my machine where no egl works.
