I discovered that when I print dependencies with dumpbin pango is not
listed althougth I link with it without error. I use gcc 3.4.2
(mingw-special). 

I use the same compiler flags for another program, but with some
different libraries (for example with libxml2 instead of iksemel) and
pango is listed in the dependiences and the program works just fine.

any ideas?
