I suspected that was the case. I checked Fedora repositories and it
seems we have agg but not python-aggdraw so I tried to build the 1.1
release which failed.

Now, I could go on and try to debug/fix the build but I realized both
agg and aggdraw development seem stale enough to suggest sticking the
cairo way.

I'll probably spend some time to see how the cairo output can be
improved to match agg; if anything I'll learn more about rdkit code in
the process...

Thanks again
