Pango was using invalid c++ code and Sun Studio avoids that to compile.
Applied patches are taken from the bug-fixes committed upstream -HEAD
taken from harrbuuz-ng repository for pango.
Bump package revision because of these patches.
Xcode 3.2.1) from breaking "pango" under Mac OS X. Bump package
revision because the package would previously build but not work.
[No, I have no idea why adding a random fprintf() in that loop avoids
the problem. But it is the only trick I have found so far.]

was what glyph 0 was used for previously. As a result, bumped up the
Pango module version, meaning that modules compiled against earlier
versions are probably not compatible with this release. [#73147]

that can be used to render a text file using any of the available
backends. This is installed into bindir now.

installs are something like databases that need to be handled automatically
by the package system during installation of modules, not by the end user.
Bump PKGREVISION to 1. (As a side effect, the package gets simplified a lot).
There are no packages in pkgsrc installing pango modules at the moment.
When they come, we can easily add a framework to handle them, as has been
done for x11/gtk2.

X backend instead of hoping for a suitable glyph [Morten Welinder]

* Use octal escapes rather than literal UTF-8 [Arnaud Charlet]
* Use g_[sf]printf where appropriate [Matthias Clasen]

... as well as the usual bug fixes.
Pango is a library for layout and rendering of text, with an emphasis
on internationalization. Pango can be used anywhere that text layout
is needed; however, most of the work on Pango-1.0 was done using the
GTK+ widget toolkit as a test platform. Pango forms the core of text
and font handling for GTK+-2.0.
Pango is designed to be modular; the core Pango layout can be used
with four different font backends:
- Core X windowing system fonts
- Client-side fonts on X using the Xft library
- Direct rendering of scalable fonts using the FreeType library
- Native fonts on Microsoft backends
Dynamically loaded modules then handle text layout for particular
combinations of script and font backend.
As well as the low level layout rendering routines, Pango includes
PangoLayout, a high level driver for laying out entire blocks of text,
and routines to assist in editing internationalized text.
