Thank you for running the test suite. Two of the errors you got should
already be fixed in the test suite. The were caused by the tests
checking for float identity, which is never a good idea. The last one is
caused by changed implicit includes and I will fix it soon in the test
code. The other two are more serious and I am still looking into them.

If cairo is not working for you, you are most likely working on FreeBSD.
We already have a few bug report about this. But with no way to
reproduce this I am a bit stuck in solving the issue. The strangest
thing here is that we are not really using the cairo path, so there
shouldn't be to many points in it. Perhaps somebody could add some debug
code to output the cairo path before attempting to copy it?

And the quit button in SystemPreferences works for me, but I had to make
clean before doing a make there.

Cheers,
Fred
