What I found when I tried to yum-install it, there was
a message that pixman was obsoleted by cairo, eg:
# yum install libpixman-devel.x86_64
[..]
Setting up Install Process
Package libpixman-devel is obsoleted by cairo, <-- THIS
trying to install cairo-1.2.4-5.el5.x86_64 instead
Package cairo-1.2.4-5.el5.x86_64 already installed and latest version
Nothing to do

Not sure if configure should be made smart enough to
somehow detect the cairo version to determine at what
point libpixman is no longer needed, and adjust the
make settings accordingly.
For the short term, I think what I'll do is tweak the
README.cairo.txt file with the above info, as that's
the first place I looked when I got the error.

Not sure if the above message is just a packaging thing,
or if it's for sure that cairo absorbed pixman's capabilities.
I figure if nothing else, a quick comment in the README will
help.
