Sounds good to me, but there is (at least) one issue.  Do
pycairo-1.2.6 and cairomm-1.2.4 work with cairo-1.3.x?  I don't see
any pycairo-1.3.x or cairomm-1.3.x at either
http://cairographics.org/releases/ or
http://cairographics.org/snapshots/, so I'm worried about breaking
gtkmm and pygtk.  cairo-java and the perl equivalent may have similar
issues...  Does anyone have any more details on this?
