cairo carries a copy of the XRender headers so that it can stub out the
functions for missing libraries. (So that the code is not littered with
endless #ifdef when we already have runtime selection based on the
queried client/server compatible version.

All that would be required would be to extend that stubbing to handle
too-old instead of purely absence...
