** New configure option --with-cairo.
This builds Emacs with Cairo drawing. As a side effect, it provides
support for built-in printing, when Emacs was built with GTK+.
-Cairo drawing is an experimental feature in Emacs, and subject to
-change in future releases.
+The Emacs Cairo drawing is experimental and still has some known
+display problems. We encourage more testing of this build and
+reporting any problems you find, but it is not recommended for
+production.
