Most authors I've talked to don't want to touch Pango (some have even said
it was a dead project) -- alas, doesn't matter to me as long as Arabic is
in there (do also keep in mind that its alot heavier -- memory foot-print,
etc).

In all, I was just trying to include Arabic into yet another thing that is
rather common out there -- seems innocent enough and could be compile
ignored anyway (ie. no harm done).
