What is Cairo

Gaurav,
"Cairo is a vector graphics library designed to provide high-quality display and print output."
Please see their website for more details: http://www.cairographics.org/

I'm trying to compile mozilla on Solaris, and have always used the libart renderer, but would now like to try the in-tree cairo.
From bugzilla:
> This patch defaults to the in-tree cairo, allowing
> a system cairo to be used with --enable-system-cairo.
Am I right to assume that if I put
ac_add_options --enable-svg-renderer-cairo
in my .mozconfig the in-tree cairo will be built and be used in my build of mozilla??
OR is there something like --enable-intree-cairo??

since February 14 (the last version I've downloaded before "SVG disable preference") up to Mozilla SVG 2005031009 lines like
are not allowing user input.
(only SELECT/CUT is possible)
This seems to be too far off SVG - but builds like Firefox 1.0 or newer without SVG don't show this behavior.
Don't see a hint in MozillaZine etc.
What shall I do?
(last build not showing this behavior: from 8.02.)
