I'm not familiar with Centos, but generally for packaged Cairo,
dependency detection is handled by the distro's packaging system.  So
you might want to start by filing a bug about this with your distro
that it needs to add this as a dependency for their cairo package.

I think Cairo's source documentation explains what to do about
dependencies as well enough as can be done given how many compilation
options Cairo has, but certainly wouldn't mind seeing some improvements
to README if appropriate.
