We tried to mitigate the damage of this in cairo by requiring users to
include cairo-xlib.h before they can get at the xlib backend in
cairo. So, at least no users of things other than Xlib will be forced
to deal with this brain damage.

And users that actually _are_ using Xlib will already need to include
Xlib's public headers and deal with the brain damage anyway. So I
don't think anything additional is actually needed.

PS. Xlib isn't the only offender here. Many of the "native" header
files that various cairo backends include have similar namespace
nightmares. So we've segregated cairo-<backend>.h for each.
