Behdad Esfahbod 5926257770 Revamp the build system.
Quick summary of changes:

  - Move list of cairo source files out of src/Makefile.am and into
    src/Sources.mk,

  - Generate files src/Config.mk and src/Config.mk.win32 that choose
    the right set of source files and headers based on configured
    backends and features.  This drastically simplifies building
    using other build systems.  The src/Makefile.win32 file needs
    to be updated to reflect these changes.

  - Add README files to various directories,

  - Add toplevel HACKING file.

Cairo Reference Documentation
=============================
The API documentation is generated using gtk-doc.
Building
--------
The documentation is not built by default. To build it you need to
configure with gtk-doc enabled (--enable-gtk-doc), and run:
make doc
Adding New API
--------------
When adding new symbols and macros to the public API, modify
cairo-section.txt and add new symbols to the right place.
When adding whole new features, you also need to modify cairo-docs.xml
and add a new file under tmpl/. Beware that the files are tmpl/ are
both manually edited AND modified by gtk-doc, gathering documentation
stub from source files.
Tests
-----
There are some tests in this directory, ensuring proper documentation
syntax as well as checking that all public symbols are fully documented.
After adding any new API, just run:
make check
