That's all moot now, as I've removed the writing of stderr. I wasn't
really doing this for the sake of any error messages from cairo, (it's
pretty silent already---maybe too silent).

I was really just trying to avoid abstraction leakage withing the
cairo/test files. But writing to stderr was causing too many problems,
so I've switched it all to use a new cairo_test_log function rather
than fprintf(stderr,...).
