pango-querymodules is used run script_engine_list() function
of a set of modules and write out a pango.modules file.

The 2 second of installing a new moudle is:

 modversion=`pkg-config --variable=pango_module_version pango`
 cp $my_module.so $libdir/pango/$modversion/modules/
 pango-querymodules > $sysconfdir/pango/pango.modules
