If there are no system-installed (in $PATH) cairo .dll files installed, we download some "bundled" ones. Note that these were already hosted for use by GTK::Simple, but we re-download them here since we don't have any dependency on GTK::Simple.
We use the first 100 or so lines in the file to load everything in dependency order, but now we don't rely on anything being in $PATH

I'm looking to port several other Raku binding to windows, including freetype, libxml and fontconfig. I like the approach, but prefer to factor out the logic from Gtk::Simple into a common module for fetching DLLs and managing dependencies rather than replicate it across several modules. |

WRT the repo, In some cases, such as libxml, and iconv it'd also be handy to have corresponding .h files for development purposes. |

Similar to the GTK::Simple treatment. All used files are already hosted, so this should be ready to go.
