I've wanted to move that exclusion mechanism to individual tests instead
of the boilerplate for too long.  The test can detect the surface type
using cairo_surface_get_type() and reutnr UNSUPPORTED...  It probably
can use a helper function cairo_test_surface_is_vector or something...


In the case of this point-sampling test, seems like better written as a
test not using the cairo_test() framework.  Grep for cairo_test_init in
tests/*.c and you'll get all such tests.
