The most important define is HAVE_CAIRO from Dia's config.h
The other defines come from cairo-features.h and say what's
compiled into cairo. The only useful and available option
on win32 with 1-0-2 is CAIRO_HAS_PNG_FUNCTIONS.

The PDF and PS surface are not available for win32 without
depending on Freetype. And they are not considered useful
enough by the cairo people to be officially supported on
all platforms for 1.0.x.

The CAIRO_HAS_WIN32X_SURFACE is (or better was) my attempt to
have a wmf based backend in cairo. But nowadays it is almost
discussed to death. See: http://hans.breuer.org/gtk/cairo.html
