Awesome, great work.  A few points will be deducted from your score
for being just over a month behind your original schedule and running
so close to the GNOME 2.18.0 deadline, thus making me worry that you
might not be getting a release out before GNOME 2.18 was due.
However, the speed and coolness of the new release will make up for
it.  ;-)

I've updated the ExternalDependencies page and the jhbuild modulesets.

Thanks,
Elijah

Yeah, sorry about that.  Cairo's release management is still young and
learning.  We are going to work on a more timely release management
plan.  In this case, a few issues popped up that delayed the release.
I'm going to blog them extensively.

Yes, we're pretty lame. (Though we're learning, and Behdad's going to
make sure we do better next time.) Sorry for any heart palpitations we
might have causes.

Well, I just hope nothing's *too* broken in the release. And I do hope
it all works out well for everything in GNOME.

Happy hacking!
