The gymnastics are unfortunately necessary because pango does not do multilib
correctly.

An /etc/pango/pangorc is used to tell pango where additional modules are.
Unfortunately both 32 bit and 64 bit pango look for the same file. So if you
have 64-bit linux and have installed 32-bit firefox, that would pull in 32-bit
pango - and the /etc/pango/pangorc file can only be correct for 32 bit or 64
bit, it can't be correct for both because of /usr/lib64 vs /usr/lib.

pango upstream seems to be at disagreement with silgraphite, they think
silgraphite should install the pango modules in the top level pango module
directory. But the silgraphite coders need to make sure that their modules are
loaded after the core pango modules. From what I understand, upstream pango
considers that to be a design bug.

My understanding is that a future version of upstream pango is going to do this
better so that even with what they consider to be a "design bug" in silgraphite,
multilib will be handled better.

Both 32 and 64 bit pango looking at the same config file with full path
%{_libdir} in it is definitely wrong and they apparently are addressing that.
