Not from my head, just googled out stuff: GTK+ <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GTK%2B>, starting in 2005 with version 2.8, uses Cairo to render the majority of its widgets <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Widget_%28computing%29>.
Trying to remove libcairo2 causes the removal of everything else, including libgtk2 etc. on Hardy Heron (64bit) so at least on linux, I'd say it's "part of the system" when considering gtk2 setups. If the gtk 2.8 comment (from wikipedia) is true, then we should be safe to use it on unix platforms at least (we're supporting 2.6+ but I think going to 2.8+ as minimum is doable?)
