Attached is a patch to cairomm which transitions it to use multiarch
library paths.

Since libcairomm-1.0-dev contains no build-time-generated include files
or arch-dependent scripts/executables, it can be safely marked as Multi-
Arch: same, so this patch does so. Because many of its direct and
indirect dependencies have not yet been transitioned for multiarch,
libcairomm-1.0-dev will not currently be multiarch co-installable. This
is fine, though, and if all of the dependencies were ever to be
transitioned for multiarch, the libcairomm -dev package would
immediately become multiarch co-installable.

Typically the biggest outstanding blocker to multiarch transitions is
.la files with non-empty dependency_libs lines. However, I checked all
files listed in http://lintian.ubuntuwire.org/tags/non-empty-
dependency_libs-in-la-file.html (http://paste.ubuntu.com/766579/) and
cairomm isn't listed anywhere, so this transition should be safe now by
that metric.
