I tried to use cairo-sphinx do to something useful. I failed.
The cairo-sphinx binary was added in commit 6e0b3be903 in 2009 by ickle
with the explanation:
Add cairo-sphinx utility for regression analysis
sphinx is an alternate version of the current cairo-test-trace. It's
purpose is to replay a live application (which may just be a replay of a
trace) against a backend and its reference. The improvement over the
original cairo-test-trace is that the reference backend may be from an
older version of cairo.
Ever since this commit, there were only build fixes to this code (for
example to fix compilation on AIX or to fix compilation after
cairo-tee.h became optional). So, either this code was perfect from the
beginning or it was not much used.
Next, I tried to reverse-engineer a bit how to actually use this. The
non-existing documentation didn't help much. The result? Well...
something happened, but I am not quite sure what. Then the server
process just exited.
So, in this commit I am removing cairo-sphinx. The hope is that someone
speaks up and complains. That person then hopefully can provide some
explanation on how to use this. Alternatively, no one speaks up and we
no longer have to maintain this piece of code.

According to the Debian code search tool, nothing uses it as part of the
Cairo public API, and it has been disabled for a long time with nobody
complaining about it.
Trying to build with meson with -Dzlib=disabled failed with the
following error message:
cairo/test/meson.build:599:2: ERROR: Unknown variable
"libcairoscript_dep".
This commit fixes that problem by adding a not-found dependency if
cairo-script is not built.
Additionally, follow-up problems are fixed:
- any2ppm.c still tried to include cairo-script-interpreter.h, which was
not found
- Building cairo-test-trace was attempted, but that also failed because
of missing script support.

For example, to depend on cairo-script, inccairoscript was added to
"include_directories:" and libcairoscript was added to "link_with:".
This commit instead uses the libcairoscript_dep dependency everywhere.

Doesn't build any more, is very much non-essential, and hasn't
been touched in any meaningful way since it was added 13 years
ago, so just remove it for now until someone steps up. Chances
are the glibc version has improved since then.
trace-to-xml.c needs cairo-xml.h which is only available when
CAIRO_HAS_XML_SURFACE feature is built which is only available when both
zlib and png are found. CAIRO_HAS_INTERPRETER only requires zlib.
This constitutes few fixes that are necessary to compile correctly
and reduce errors when using musl libc.
