Starting with 1.041, Cairo depends on the module Test::Number::Delta to
reliably test floating point stuff.  It advertises this dependency in
the Makefile[.PL], but as I just found out, without the PREREQ_FATAL
flag, this only prints a warning if the module is not found.  So now I
see two options: Add PREREQ_FATAL, causing `perl Makefile.PL` to abort
if the module cannot be found.  Or make the dependency optional and skip
the floating point tests if it's not there.
