GNU Autotools - install method 1 - preferred method
--------------------------------
Using the same install method of install as cairo - GNU autotools.

  $ python -c "import sys; print sys.prefix"
    # make a note of the python prefix
  $ ./configure --prefix=<python_prefix>
  $ make
  $ make install       # may require superuser access

To build from CVS, use this line instead of the configure line above:
  $ ./autogen.sh --prefix=<python_prefix>

If you're installing to another prefix than the one where Python is installed
Python will not be able to find the cairo module until you add
$prefix/lib/pythonX.Y/site-packages to the PYTHONPATH variable.


Waf - install method 2 - alternative install method
----------------------
$ ./waf --help  # shows available waf options
$ ./waf configure
$ ./waf build
$ ./waf install


Python distutils - install method 3 - alternative install method
-----------------------------------
$ python setup.py install
