Thanks (both you Hamish and Glynn)!
The --with-cairo configure option seems to work well (I tried it after
Glynn's update to use pkg-config).
It appears that assigning ownership to myself means that the update
message doesn't get sent to the list.
It would be nice if that can be changed; IMHO, all tracker messages
should be copied to the list.
For completeness, below is a small patch to update the Cairo monitor
documentation to reflect this change, that perhaps someone can apply?
I've made the changes.
I couldn't apply the patch directly, due to reformatting by your mail
client. Ideally, patches should be sent as attachments rather than
pasted into the message body.
