The tests for pangox were added to solve linking problems with GTK+ >=
2.8, but it's always bugged me that we're having to link with a backend
at all, I'd love it if someone came up with a way to get rid of pangox
altogether.

In the meantime, you can test against the "os_win32" flag in
configure.in to make pangox conditional on that platform.  In
particular, you want to see that it doesn't get added to
GDKGLEXT_PACKAGES on Win32.
