Cairo based bitmap graphics output should work if cairo and R have been compiled
without xlib support.  2.7.1 gives the "X11 is not available" message in this
case when run interactively, and from my reading the png documentation, calling
png(filename=..., type="cairo") should work.  Cairo itself is happy without
xlib.
