Hi,

As much as I don't want to say that we should turn down submissions 
what's the reasoning about importing it now?
https://scratch.mit.edu/discuss/topic/47724/?page=1#post-395635
https://github.com/scratchfoundation/Scratch_1.4

It's declared obsolete and unsupported upstream for years so we have no 
support and it's very likely to bitrot. While we do "maintain" some 
software in tree it's mostly because upstream is no longer around/active 
but we don't import ports that needs support from the get-go because 
that's not sustainable. Please back this out

We also have helpers for both pkgconfig and cairo, please use helpers 
whenever possible

Best regards,
Daniel
