If I compile firefox 1.0.3 with cairo 0.2.0 library it compiles well. But I use
now new 0.4.0 cairo library and firefox compilation fails. Could you update
firefox code to enable support for new cairo 0.4.0 library?

firefox 1.0.3 module has the following bug which breaks its compilation (when
cairo 0.4.0 is installed).

nsSVGCairoCanvas.cpp: In member function `nsresult
nsSVGCairoCanvas::Init(nsIRenderingContext*, nsIPresContext*, const nsRect&)
':
nsSVGCairoCanvas.cpp:121: error: `cairo_set_target_drawable' undeclared (first
use this function)
nsSVGCairoCanvas.cpp:121: error: (Each undeclared identifier is reported only
once for each function it appears in.)

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Remove cairo 0.2.0 library
2. Install cairo 0.4.0 library
3. Compile firefox

Actual Results:  
The compilation breaks with these errors:

Expected Results:  
Compilation should be finished without error.

This bug doesn't make sense. Firefox 1.0.3 doesn't have any Cairo code that I'm
aware of. On the trunk, we're using our own in-tree Cairo and updating it as
appropriate, since Cairo is not nearly stable enough to use as an external
(system) lib.

The aviary branch does contain some early development code for the cairo svg
renderer, and required a system installed cairo.  But as nobody should really be
using the svg support from the 1.0.x branch (a lot has happened for svg support
in the last year), I don't think we should spend the time updating that code for
the 0.4.0 api.  Cairo is currently undergoing some API rework, so even if this
was fixed it would be out of date again shortly.
