While typically the cairo dll is called `libcairo-2.dll`, there are some builds which call it `cairo.dll` (see for example https://github.com/preshing/cairo-windows). This causes problems for libraries like ggplotnim, which cannot just recommend users to download the stand-alone cairo library from the URL above because its dll is not called libcairo-2.dll.
