Gtk 1.162 build issues under win32

["T.J. Ferraro" <tjtoocool phreaker net>]

I'm trying to compile Glib/Gtk 1.162 under win32 using VC7. Glib 
compiled fine. Gtk, however, had mixed results. If I compile it against 
Gtk2 libraries <= 2.6, it compiles fine. However, anything higher 
(because of a clause in the Makefile to use Cairo) and I get:

PangoCairo.c
xs\PangoCairo.xs(24) : error C2143: syntax error : missing ';' before 'type'
xs\PangoCairo.xs(26) : error C2065: 'callback' : undeclared identifier

Stop.

Further investigating reveals all of those errors reside in:
-------------------------------------------------------------
...
#if PANGO_CHECK_VERSION (1, 17, 0)

static void
gtk2perl_pango_cairo_shape_renderer_func
...
-------------------------------------------------------------

I was using 1.18.3 pango, so I dropped the version down to 1.16.4. Then, 
after reading the mailing list archives, I added SvGKeyFile to the 
Glib.exports file and recompiled (linker error, otherwise). This time 
everything compiled fine.


So until a new version fixes this (?), just using a lower version of 
pango seems to be an adequate workaround.
