-Notes
-=====
-
- - By default, Pango tries to build itself so that no explicit
-   dependency on Xft or FreeType will be introduced in apps that
-   link to Pango. This is to avoid compatibility problems with
-   changes in the Xft or FreeType API's or ABI's. Specifying 
-   --enable-explicit-deps or --enable-static when configuring Pango 
-   will defeat this and should be avoided if possible.
+Installation of Pango on Win32 is possible, see README.win32.
