Hmm, we could maybe implement:

PangoLayout* pango_layout_new_from_markup (const char *markup,
                                           GError    **error);

Then use this throughout GTK when a PangoLayout is being used for
rendering a single paragraph of text (should be GtkLabel, tree cells,
maybe some other places).

The markup tags can just straightforwardly correspond to pango
text attributes.

No comments on those yet (well, Owen watched me implement it so
presumably isn't opposed, no thoughts from Tim).
