viewer-ft2.c is fundementally unfixable because it depends on
having copy of GTK+ that you can link to the same GLib as
Pango but that doesn't require Pango.
Perhaps there could be a viewer-ft2-win32.c that uses GDI
calls directly for drawing... libgnomecanvas shouldn't be hard
to get going on Win32, however.
