After some further digging I came across this entry in Bugzilla:-

https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=733137

It looks as if the previous (dynamically loadable) modules have been 
abandoned now and everything gets built into pango statically.  As a 
result (presumably) there's no need for the previous lib directory, or 
sysconf directory, or the config files (pango.aliases etc?)

Is that a fair summary of the new situation?  (I must admit, it seems 
like a good improvement !!)
