[cairo] Win32 Port

[Mathieu Lacage]

For what it is worth, you can use the trick used by autoconf (I believe)
to detect these cases:

static char test_array[sizeof (int) - 5];

Which will not compile with every known compiler since negative-sized
arrays are illegal C.

All you have to do is to put these tests in one of the files you
compile...

Mathieu
