Retiring pangox

Hi,
The pangox backend of pango have been deprecated for years (2001ish) and I'm
going to remove it upstream in a week or two. Matthias suggested we get rid
of it in f12. I totally welcome that. So I want to rebuild pango with pangox
disabled in the coming days.
I don't know of even one package that actually uses the pangox backend/API. I
did a quick query [1] and seems like most packages linking to it are doing
that because gtkglext2 wrongly has pangox in its .pc file. I will patch
gtkglext2 to fix that, but all the dependent packages need to be rebuilt.
There are some alarming ones though. In particular:
xorg-x11-drv-nvidia-0:185.18.36-1.fc11.i586
AdobeReader_deu-0:9.1.3-1.i486
AdobeReader_jpn-0:9.1.3-1.i486
Any help figuring out what's going on and how to move forward is appreciated.
Cheers,
behdad
