Perfect.

Instead, I've dropped cairo-xlib.h completely. I've added a new
cairo-config.h.in that gets substituted and installed as
cairo-config.h next to cairo.h in $prefix/include.

If the separate header file seems a bad idea, we can fold it into
cairo.h and have that be generated instead, (a bit more painful for
maintenance, but nicer for the user).
