Pango *is* a helper for every language.  Thai just happens to be one 
case where the functionality required for rendering their language 
existed already and could be reused, rather than requiring the Pango 
team to write it themselves.

This is how software is *supposed* to work.  The only problem is people 
who *aren't* involved in solving problems are bitching at the people who 
have, without even understanding the system that they're criticizing.

If you think so, you're free to contribute one.
