I think this was one of those things where:

 - I wrote some quick rule a long time ago to work on my system
 - Havoc fixed it up when *.so didn't match anything because of 
   static linking.
 - Tor or Hans fixed it for Win32

And nobody noticed that it was completely unportable, and in fact the
*.so glob wasn't necessary at all because pango-querymodules does the
right thing when run without any arguments.

(I fixed pango-querymodules last week to be flexible for extensions,
but didn't notice this makefile rule.)

The rc2 tarball fixes the problem by running pango-querymodules
without arguments.
