Putting it in xorg-lib is not the big issue. However including
xorg-lib-common.inc is a big issue.

For a system that only uses pixman, and not anything else, it starts
building a complete X server etc. etc. because the xorg include adds
those dependencies.

These dependencies are NOT in pixman. Maybe in upper libraries, but
even then it depends on their configuration etc. etc.

I'ld like to keep the "embedded" in OpenEmbedded, also for small
embedded Linux systems.

OK, that sounds easy enough.

What would be the good reason to keep pixman in the xorg-lib
directory? Why do we have this directory, we don't have a gnome/
directory where gtk+ lives, I do not really see the benefit?
