The problem is that now every external app that uses these headers needs to 
use pkgconfig to get pixman -I flags.

Why the include wasn't written as #include <pixman-1/whatever.h>?

pixman-1 name was choosen afaik to be able to easily change api/abi in future 
and still have posibility go have both (old and new) pixman packages 
installed (without conflicts). Since now xserver uses pixman-1 API only and 
it simply could directly include <pixman-1/xyz> avoiding all the problems.

(That's what we did in PLD)
