Thought of that as well but I couldn't think of an easy solution there.

(1) Assuming one updates gtk-osx-build the bundling will fail because of the
modules path in the "<binary>" node [0] in the bundle for the pango modules.
Removing that line will make create_pango_setup() fail. Not much we can do I
think.

(2) The other way around, updating the bundler (while keeping the old bundle
xml) but not osx-build we can handle by either erroring out depending on the
pango version (pkg-config --modversion pango) and suggesting a newer
gtk-osx-build or detect if modules are present and still do the
create_pango_setup()
