Welcome Cairo

I just upgraded my browser of choice to the latest nightly build. Camino 1.0.3 has been anything but stable recently so I wondered the latest bugfixes can hardly make it worse. I got the spark from Mr. Hicks who had a comparison between how the new Cairo rendering engine, Safari and the old Camino render light text on a dark background.

Of course, it will come with some other new goodies, too, like (finally) a RSS feed icon in the address bar, nice rounded corners and automatic spell checking in forms.

So far the build of December 19 has been rock-solid (for a whopping hour ;-), so no complaints. And the new text rendering is nice.
