>From upstream's gobject-introspection project, it's clear that cairo suppor=
t is
only required to enable some tests[0]. For people who just build this packa=
ge
as part of other pulled-in dependencies, or build minimal package repositor=
ies
without graphics or X11 support, this unnecessary dependency on cairo bring=
s in
a ton of X11 dependencies as well.

Can we make graphics/cairo an optional dependency through an OPTIONS define?
One that IMPLIES TESTS support as well? If help is needed on this, I can su=
bmit
a patch.
