patch file

Hello,
I want to submit a patch for cairo-ocaml, but did not find the product in bugzilla, though I saw a bug report with cairo-ocaml product...

As I needed to port my app that uses cairo-ocaml to windows, I integrated it in the MXE framework (set of patches and make commands to cross-compile hundreds of packages). So now I am able to cross-compile it from linux to windows, and I would like to submit the patch now in case future versions of cairo-ocaml are provided.

The patch :

- updates META file : it is used by ocamlfind (findlib). Providing the file upstream is important, otherwise people with godi, debian, cygwin all make their own file, with different options, making it impossible to port a makefile from a platform to an other.
- updates ocaml.m4 with last version of ocaml-autoconf (that allows for cross-compilation)
- update configure.ac to use the updated ocaml.m4 file.

With this, it is now "easy" to cross-compile cairo-ocaml.

To apply the patch :
cd cairo-ocaml-1.2.0
patch -p1 < /path/to/ocaml-cairo-1-fixes.patch

Best regards,
William
