If I recall, he was saying that you must pass -fversion=CAIRO_HAS_PNG_SUPPORT to

stubs.
Stub out the functions for PNG support. Then just call them, they will do
nothing if PNG isn't supported. There is NO NEED for the callers to set version.
It's more an example where you need a build system in place for a simple hello
world in cairoD if you don't want to be typing too much just to get your test
program built. :)
If you need to -fversion=CAIRO_HAS_PNG_SUPPORT for every file that imports it,
you have completely misunderstood the design I suggested.
1. Encapsulate the feature in a function.
2. Implement the function in module X. Module X is the ONLY module that needs
the version. In module X, define the function to do nothing if version is false.
3. Nobody who imports X has to define the version.
4. Just call the function as if the feature always exists.
5. If you find you still need a version in the importer, then you didn't fully
encapsulate the feature. Go back to step 1.
