I am currently custom-building cairo for some homebrew VB6 projects (using an msys2-based build chain modeled after https://github.com/preshing/cairo-windows/), but would prefer to switch to this community-supported project. Certain additions to the README would be helpful as the current one raises many questions!
For example, what cairo features are included in this build? Cairo exposes a ton of compile-time features, and there is worthwhile discussion over what is even useful in a windows build. (For example, is it worthwhile to add libpng to the build when GDI+ already provides PNG support? What about FreeType, which has certain advantages/disadvantages vs GDI?)
Short of manually spelunking into the lib/rcairo-xxx/build folder and inspecting this repo's win32 makefiles, it's not clear what this build includes. Stating build options up-front on the README would be very helpful.
