Is it me or is the behaviour of pango-1.04+ (and packages depending on
it) totally broken

1. Pango does not build xft2 support (despite announcements that it
does) because it looks for a file that is only present in xft1
(xftfreetype.h)

2. After failing to build pangoxft other packages (eg gtk+-2.0.6) look
for ANY installed pangoxft which will be pango-1.1.1 if any, this is
despite removing any reference to any gnome packages in .pc files (ie
/usr/lib/pkgconfig removed from PKG_CONFIG_PATH)

It should either get built or ignored
