Uli Schlachter e6b0c58424 Remove cairo-sphinx 
I tried to use cairo-sphinx do to something useful. I failed.

The cairo-sphinx binary was added in commit 6e0b3be903 in 2009 by ickle
with the explanation:

    Add cairo-sphinx utility for regression analysis

    sphinx is an alternate version of the current cairo-test-trace. It's
    purpose is to replay a live application (which may just be a replay of a
    trace) against a backend and its reference. The improvement over the
    original cairo-test-trace is that the reference backend may be from an
    older version of cairo.

Ever since this commit, there were only build fixes to this code (for
example to fix compilation on AIX or to fix compilation after
cairo-tee.h became optional). So, either this code was perfect from the
beginning or it was not much used.

Next, I tried to reverse-engineer a bit how to actually use this. The
non-existing documentation didn't help much. The result? Well...
something happened, but I am not quite sure what. Then the server
process just exited.

So, in this commit I am removing cairo-sphinx. The hope is that someone
speaks up and complains. That person then hopefully can provide some
explanation on how to use this. Alternatively, no one speaks up and we
no longer have to maintain this piece of code.

Cairo Utilities
===============

There are a varieties of utilities we use with cairo.


malloc-stats
------------

This is a small shared library designed to be preloaded by the
linker and its purpose is to make the malloc_stats() function
of glibc produce more useful information.

Build by:

	make malloc-stats.so

and use by:

	LD_PRELOAD=$(blddir)/util/libmalloc-stats.so app-to-run

cairo-trace
-----------

This tool can be used to trace all the cairo function calls made by an
applications.  This is useful for either extracting a test case triggering
a bug from an application, or simply to get a general idea of how an
application is using cairo.


cairo-api-update and xr2cairo
-----------------------------

These two scripts were used to convert source code written for pre-1.0
cairo to newer API.  See $(top_srcdir)/PORTING_GUIDE for more information.

These files are obsolete now and may be removed in a future version.


cairo-view and waterfall
------------------------

These are two pycairo scripts useful for testing the toy font backend.
