Just getting into this, but it appears 
http://ftp.acc.umu.se/pub/GNOME/teams/releng/2.19.1/ has the appropriate
jhbuild module files set up to use specific tarballs of all packages.
Obviously, those modules are already slightly out of date and will have to
be updated in an obvious way to use your recommended Cairo and Pango versions
above.

Behdad, are there any other tarball version changes in the Pango
dependencies that you would recommend for the above group of jhbuild module
files?  For example, they use fontconfig-2.4.1 and glib-2.13.0 in the
jhbuild. Let me know if you prefer something else.
