As discussed previously, are there any objections to bumping the Cairo version dependency to >=1.14 in trunk, now?

JFTR: - Bug #1351597 "Inkscape + Cairo >= 1.12 very slow on Windows" https://bugs.launchpad.net/inkscape/+bug/1351597

is unsolved, and prevents upgrading the outdated cairo version currently available for 32bit Windows devlibs.

Available 64bits builds for Windows seem to be highly affected by the poor performance (based on the reports we have seen on irc, on launchpad.net and questions asked elsewhere).
