The latest cairo-perf-diff has changed to "#!/bin/bash", we don't need to do
this any more.

I run the command on the latest cairo code base without these patches and got
the following error message:

X server does not have the Render extension.
Error: Failed to create target surface: xlib
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `check-TESTS'
Current working directory /export/home/brian/cairo-ws/cairo/perf
make: Fatal error: Command failed for target `check-am'

I checked the cairo-perf.c and found that cairo-perf can't run on an X system
without Render extension.

Is there any workaround?

Thanks a lot
